I would say that at least one person must have listened to him at 
some point.  If Dumbledore did not help him as a child in some way, 
shape or form, than Snape never would have gone to him as an 
adult.    

Sirius states (GOF) that Snape knew in his first year more curses 
than a seventh year and that he followed them around trying to get 
them expelled.  Maybe it was a case of crying wolf (or should I say 
werewolf? :) too many times.  If Snape was really spending his time 
trying to get the Marauders expelled, then how could Dumbledore tell 
that this particular prank was worse than others?
