He had every right to take points in this situation.  It's pretty much the
equivalent of a high school sponsoring a dance, a teacher taking a walk in
the parking lot, and coming across a car with two students making out in the
back seat.  Having sex on school grounds is not allowed.  I always got the
impression that's what was going on in those bushes.  Snape, on his walk,
either hears them or sees them laying on the ground making out and deducts
points.  He doesn't turn it into anything more because he is preoccupied
with Karkaroff and what Karkaroff has been telling him.
