Again, it's just this very quote that bothers me.  Now, we're told 
the story from Harry's point of view right?  So seeing as Snape 
doesn't say what he sees, it's just Harry saying that he see's Snape 
seeing himself, and perhaps at this point he just mentions Snape 
because he's so incredibly close to the mirror?

My other thought is that perhaps Snape isn't used to seeing himself 
in mirrors (after all, it is a looking glass ;o) )
