When Hermione stole supplies, they were from the supply stores in the
classroom. Other references to Snapes office haven't given me the
impression that it is in or near the potions classroom. Well, it's
certainly in the dungeon, but I get no indication that it is attached
to the potions classroom. 

So I don't think Hermione stole supplies from Snape's private office,
but from his private supplies cuboard/room in the classroom. 

I don't have it here in front of me, but I think we might have two
separate events. One is Moody/Couch in Snape's Office as seen on the
Map, and Snape's later statement that ingredients were missing from
his private stock. Those two are not necessarily the same event.

Just some thoughts.
