Is there canon to support this?

(My theory runs more along the lines of the fact that it's easier to get
someone to shut up by giving them a snack than to just tell them to be
quiet.  I also think it was her way of letting him know that, while she's
upset with him for arguing with Umbridge, she still understands.)

Just my two centaur's worth.
