Me, Melanie:

Actually, this makes a lot of sense, whether you ascribe to the "Snape
knew about the TT and finally put two and two together" theory, or just
that he caught DD's hint and shut up before he broke the limb he was
standing on all by himself. IIRC, at the end of GoF, when DD has Sirius
show himself, Snape has nothing more to say than, "You!" in conjunction
with one of his patented Infamous Glares of Snapely Hatred. Somewhere
along the line he either figured it out for himself, or DD filled him in,
otherwise he would have been sputtering all over the place about why the
**** was Sirius there, how much does who know about it, etc. Instead he
unquestioningly, albeit grudgingly, accepts Sirius' presence and his
right to join the coming fight.
