Good questions.  Either JKR didn't really have the behind the scenes 
action fleshed out, or it wasn't important enough to pass on to us.  
But, just for laughs, can you imagine Snape going back to Umbridge's 
office and finding his young Slytherins tied up?  I'd love to see 
that interaction!  Of course, we don't know that he did.

I also wonder, as backgroud to story, if he overheard Umbridge 
planning to use the cruciatus curse on Harry? I assume that if 
Hermione hadn't saved the day, he would have stepped back in and not 
appeared to rescue Harry?  Then again, this is "Harry Potter 
and...."  not "The Adventures of Severus Snape."
