I think the reason that Snape shows favoritism to Draco is similar to the 
reason he couldn't show that he understood what Harry was saying in front 
of Umbridge.  He has to keep up appearances.  It is basically confirmed 
that Snape is now spying on Voldemort as a Deatheather he really has to 
show favoritism to the children of other Deatheaters especially Draco.  If 
he did not it can be guaranteed that these children would write to their 
parents and Snape would be under suspicion, and quite possibly his talent 
for being able to lie to Voldemort without Voldemort being able to tell 
would come to the front.  The reason is probably similar why he showed the 
favoritism before Voldemort's return since Dumbledore believed that one day 
Voldemort would be back and Snape had to keep the appearance up so that he 
would be able to infiltrate the circle again once Voldemort did return.

Just my 2 cents.
