Just to play Devil's Advocate, it is also entirely possible that Snape does
not, in fact, give a rat's ass about helping the kids out of a bad
situation, and is saying they were Confunded to lessen their role and get
them (especially Harry) out of the limelight for once. Let someone else have
it. Like Snape, say.

Alternately, he could really believe they were Confunded, but for some
reason I really don't think he does. I don't know why that should be
so....anyone think he really believes this? Or got any justification for
either thought?
