I think you're right since they did cut so much of this.  I was trying to think of any other 
"Snape things" that were in the movie that a director might have wanted to cut and I can't 
actually remember any other "Snape things!"  Were Occlumency and SWM his only scenes?

And how depressing for the actors cast in those scenes.  A big break! A part in a Harry 
Potter movie! And then it ends up as a DVD extra.
