Didn't he? When he confiscated the book from Harry, he saw this
famous blue fire, speciality of Hermione. I think he put two and two 
together. When Hermione was in the hospital wing, it's quite probable 
that Madame Pomfrey sought his opinion, or at least mentioned the 
incident in the teachers room. He might be a right bastard, but he is 
not stupid.
