Potioncat:
AmanitaMuscaria, I missed it too. I hope this isn't a me too reply, 
but with so many of us newbies who may not have been around for 
these discussions the first time, I'll add some canon:
After DD says his little bit about being in 2 places at once:
"Snape stood there, seething, staring from Fudge, who looked 
thoroughly shocked at his behavior, to DD, whose eyes were twinkling 
behind his glasses.  Snape whirled about, robes swishing behind him, 
and stormed out of the ward."  PoA P420 (US paperback)

Yep, he understood all right!  Which really reinforces the idea that 
he started the next year out with extra strong ill-will for the 
trio!  And isn't he possibly thinking: "I risked my life to save 
kids who were acting with DD's blessings?"
