I noticed something unusual in the scene in Lockhart's office on 
Halloween in COS, when Mrs. Norris was petrified. Dumbledore and 
McGonagall were trying to revive the cat, but Snape just stood 
there, not saying a word, and trying not to smile. This is not at 
all consistent with his behavior in other books, because we know 
that he is a take-charge type of person. He is never so passive. Why 
was he smiling?

I think it might have had something to do with the situation as a whole.  With Filch freaking out and blaming Harry.  Also, I don't think Snape would take-charge when Dumbledore is there.  Snape can be in charge as a teacher when he's the only authority around, or when there are other teachers. But, when the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress are there....you step back and let them take care of it.
