Beverly (with first post) adds:

We then find that Snape knows that Harry has an Invisibility Cloak 
because of what Snape says to Moody in GoF.  (Page 473 after Harry 
takes his bath to find out the egg's clue and then gets stuck on the 
stairs, losing the egg which alerts Filch and Snape that something is 
wrong.)

Snape says: "That egg is Potter's egg.  That piece of parchment 
belongs to Potter.  I have seen it before, I recognize it!  Potter is 
here!  Potter, in his Invisibility Cloak!"

So it seems to me that when Draco went to rat on Harry after the mud-
throwing incident in PoA, Snape knew from Draco's description that 
Harry had an IC and may have told Draco or muttered something about 
it in Draco's presence.  Now I'm wondering if Snape ever saw James 
use it at school.  Could James have used it to play more pranks on 
Snape which increases Snape's enmity towards Harry once he knew for 
sure Harry had the IC?
