This seems unlikely.  To those out there who do not rely on fire as a 
primary source of heat, this may seem logical.  However, fires are 
kept going even when one is not around (when it is cold) even if it 
is just leaving the embers going.  The fact that there were no embers 
or anything in the fire is a sign that Snape simply does not (or has 
not recently) use the fire.  Also, if Snape is not undead and he is 
just trying to punish Harry and Ron then he is punishing himself as 
well.
