That would've been me. :) After i posted that this morning, in fact, 
I went and read the actual passage, and it's as if Dumby is gently 
mocking Snape with the hat -- Dumbledore immediately puts on the 
Vulture Hat after Snape pushes it away from himself -- and all Snape 
can do is sit there and try to remain dignified. so Dumby, at least, 
has heard of the Madame Snape boggart spectacle. And I would be $$ 
that everyone else has as well. Remember at the end of PS/SS when 
Dumby is telling Harry that what happened b/t harry and Quirrell in 
the dungeon was (paraphrasing here) "a complete secret; therefore, 
the entire school knows all about it"? Same here and then some, IMO. 

Working in a school setting meself, I think the faculty at Hogwarts 
typically enjoy nothing better than a good old gossip about one 
another, but particularly about their more peculiar colleagues! ;)

And as for the Snape and Trelawny SHIP suggestion, eeewwww...
