I too paid careful attention to this moment in my latter viewings of 
the film because it was so confusing. The camera starts out on Snape 
at that point, and Crouch's  sight line appears to be directed toward 
Snape as well, or at least at the beginning of the line. But then the 
focus shifts to Harry, due to Dumbledore's yanking Harry's arm into 
the shot and the camera's shift to the right. Poor directing? Poor 
editing? At any rate, it is quite ambiguous.
