I took this as Snape was not helping her when she was
in hysterics by not giving her the Veritaserum. 'You
are being deliberately unhelpful' (not a direct quote,
if any one can provide it would be appreciated).

I believe Snape was protecting the children by
withholding the serum so the kids would not tell the
truth or be hurt by an overdose. 

Of course Malfoy would speak highly of him (assuming
he actually is in Malfoy's favor), as Snape would not
deny Voldie (that Malfoy knows of). Snape seemed just
as annoyed by Umbrige as all the rest, but could not
show it as much because of his allegiences.
