"In the meantime he, Professor Snape, intended to search the forest 
for you."

"Harry, you know that Professor Snape had no choice but to pretend 
not to take you seriously in front of Dolores Umbrige," said 
Dumbledore steadily, "But as I have explained, he informed the Order 
as soon as possible about what you had said. It was he who deduced 
where you had gone when you did not return from the forest. It was 
he too who gave Professor Umbridge fake Veritaserum when she was 
attempting to force you to tell of Sirius's whereabout..."

As far as I can tell, there is no proof that Snape ever searched the 
forest. Dumbledore only says Snape *intended* to do so.

Really? You don't think so? I don't believe Snape would have left 
her there at all. He's not that kind of a person.  :-)
