Amanda, it is in the canon that Snape can detect lies.  He does so
and he asserts the power explicitly with Harry in Book I, and with 
Bryce in Book IV.  I believe that there are other instances, but they 
do not come to mind right now.  Of course, Snape himself might be 
lying, but he did detect the lies in those two instances, at least.
