" In the books, it's pretty clear that nobody knows that the Hat
recommended Slytherin to Harry (the events in CoS would have been even
worse for Harry if the other students had known that), and it took 5
years for Harry and Ron to find out that the Hat had hesitated between
Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for Hermione : obviously, they didn't hear
that. What a student and the Hat tell each other is strictly private,
so even if the Hat hesitated for Snape, nobody can know that."


Cathy:
And Snape now knows that the Sorting Hat considered Harry for Slytherin as that memory passed through Harry's mind during Occlumency lessons.  If Snape noticed, and if he cares.  But, as far as I can tell, Harry has yet to mention it to anyone else.
