This  is stated with such certainty--where'd it come from? I think 
he  enjoys the House rivalries, but my take has been that 
Quidditch is  just one of the vehicles through which Slytherin 
should make its way  to the top--rather than any liking of the sport 
for itself.<

Argh, can't find my QTTA, but doesn't it say that you have to have 
a  thorough knowledge of the game to referee? Anyway, Snape's 
devotion to the Slytherin team is canon, mourning over their 
defeats and manipulating the rules to give them extra practice 
time.   Whether he cares as part of the House rivalry or for the 
sake of the game,  he still ought to be smirking sickeningly at the 
prospect of a Slytherin victory, not smiling grimly.
