I got the impression that he was very glad to see her. He strode forward,
his response when she's adding points is very un-Snapelike, I think he was
very glad she was back. I keep getting that impression, on rereading, with
no idea why. Harry would surely have said if Snape touched her, or even
smiled, so I don't think he did. But it just *feels* like he's happy she's
back.
