Wow! I agree with Amanda! My first impression was that Snape didn't 
want to stick around and watch. My second impression was that Snape 
was in the Teacher's Lounge for some quiet time and Lupin bringing his 
class in these disturbed him...grumble grumble. But I was happy that 
Snape didn't stick around...Can you imagine if Snape saw Boggart-Snape 
dressed in drag? He'd hit the roof!

But IIRC, Snape didn't seem too surprized that there WAS a boggart. 
Maybe Snape was recovering from a boggart encounter when the DADA 
class came in? Speculation: wouldn't it be something if Snape's 
boggart is Baby Harry with the fresh cut on his forehead or maybe 
Sirius Black?
