Out of earshot of Snape if memory serves.  The Penseive gives much 
wider perspective of a memory than was there at the time of the 
event.  It seems to be like a camera long shot, rather than a 
subjective Snape POV shot (using movie as metaphor here).  In this 
sequence it is made clear that Snape is almost unaware of anyone's 
existence except his own - he leaves his DADA exam in an almost 
dreamlike state.  He then sits at some distance from MWPP to further 
peruse his exam paper - and no doubt go over his answers in his 
head.

I know that he was out of earshot but once the memory is placed in 
the pensieve you are able to see and hear everything! If this is 
truly his memory, and not someone elses, he probably has viewed the 
scene in the pensieve already. I know I would have wanted to see 
everything from a removed perspective.
