Perhaps it is more important to the "big picture" that Snape's 
nasty attitude towards Harry get back to the DEs.  They have a very 
effective little spy in that classroom in the person of Draco Malfoy 
who can be trusted to report everything back to Daddy. Both Crabbe and 
Goyle could also be trusted to back up any tales told on Snape.  The 
walls indeed have ears at Hogwarts which could also explain why 
Dumbledore doesn't let Harry in on Snape's role of protector.
