>>> Actually I had a feeling that could have been implied. Harry dreamed
that he was
Voldemort lecturing Rookwood in "a dark, curtained room lit by a single
branch of
candles" (page 515), and Snape found the memory of that dream during the
next
Occlumency lesson. And he asks Harry, "How do that man and that room come to
be
inside your head?" (page 520) This is probably really far-fetched, but I
just got the
feeling that Snape recognized the room... "that room". Anyone else?<<<

Lady Macbeth:
I don't think it's far-fetched at all.  I'm certain that Snape recognized
both the room and Rookwood for exactly what they were, and he wanted to know
how Harry came to have firsthand knowledge of it.   He was likely thinking
that either Harry had done more unauthorized wandering and spying with his
invisibility cloak OR more likely that Harry and Voldemort's mental
connection was getting stronger than was in any way safe.  Both would have
been dangerous both to Harry and the Order, so Snape would have wanted an
immediate and truthful reply so as to handle the situation appropriately.
