Well, I don't know, Susan.  You might be able to start that bonfire 
up again <g>.  Dumbledore doesn't tell Snape that Harry and Hermione 
can't be in two places at once.  His exact words are:
"Unless you are suggesting that Harry and Hermione are able to be in 
two places at once, I'm afraid I don't see any point in troubling 
them further."
After that, Snape remains silent, looking from Fudge to Dumbledore.  
Then, he storms out of the hospital wing.  
I always thought it was possible that Snape did in fact know about 
Hermione's Time Turner, and of course he knows that Dumbledore knows 
about it too.  When Dumbledore stated the above line, Snape would 
have realized that Dumbledore in fact knew what had happened and that 
the TT was involved.  Now, we can say a lot of not-so-nice things 
about Snape, but I believe that his loyalty to Dumbledore has never 
wavered since he came back to his Dumbledore's side from the DEs.  I 
think that in that moment Snape realized that Dumbledore knew about, 
and had most likely orchestrated, Sirius's escape via TT.  And, that 
being the case, what could Snape do?  His loyalty to Dumbledore 
overrode his hatred for Sirius (as it did in GoF when Snape and 
Sirius shook hands).  Snape had nothing left to do but to storm out 
of the hospital wing without saying anything.
