This was mentioned a while ago: Why didn't Snape go to the hospital wing after Fluffy bit him?

Somebody said (can't find the exact message) that it's because he didn't want Madam Pomfrey to know he'd been to "visit" Fluffy, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Dumbledore obviously trusts Snape, so Snape shouldn't really be worried about what anybody else might think.

But, recall Harry saying at the end to Ron and Hermione that he thinks Dumbledore orchestrated the entire adventure with the PS, giving Harry clues where he needed them. So, my point is this: Snape limping around Hogwarts was another clue Dumbledore gave Harry.

This actually brings to mind MAGIC DISHWASHER, if one believes it - Dumbledore-the-puppeteer, and Snape helping him (read: pushing Harry in the right direction to generate the result Dumbledore wants). Snape does "get a very raw deal," doesn't he? <g>
