The teachers would know, but it doesn't necessarily follow that the 
students would.  Harry and Ron seem to be the only two with enough 
contact with Hermione to realize "something" strange is happening 
with her, but they don't know what.

All I can think of is a line from "Pride and Prejudice" (which JKR, 
Austen fan that she is, may be familiar with): "Angry people are 
not always wise."  Snape was probably so enraged at being cheated of 
his revenge that he wasn't thinking clearly.  Or maybe he figured out 
whatever Harry and Hermione had done was done with Dumbledore's 
sanction, and he was fighting a losing battle.
