I've gone through several versions of this, thinking at first that he 
couldn't hand Sirius over to the Dementors because he was unconscious,
but then, realising he could have done when he came round, assumed that he'd 
changed his mind (having calmed down) and came to favour the 'glory theory'.
However, I'm now wondering...the Dementors had had a pretty nasty shock with 
Harry's patronus and were returning to their posts when Snape woke up. 
Perhaps they weren't going back in a hurry.
I now have a vision of him standing there, summoning them in vain, stamping 
his foot in frustration and thinking, 'Damn, what am I going to do now?' 
before coming up with his little plan. It certainly seems a radical change of 
intent from inside the Shrieking Shack, when pure revenge at the earliest 
opportunity seemed to be his goal.
