Oh yes, he should have admitted it. 
A wonderful scene has been denied us. Can't you just see it? Snape drags
Harry into DDs office and goes into full foaming at the mouth rant mode:
"Headmaster, I demand that this idle, obnoxious little sneak should be 
expelled immediately! Not only...." etc. etc.
DD would paper over the cracks of course and Snape would have even
more reason to be bloody-minded and vicious. Harry would invent
justifications for himself yet again and DD would look even older and
more tired. Sirius would blow his top and probably come down with
stress induced mange or canine distemper. Lupin would look worried.
Splendid stuff.

Can't help  but think JKR missed a trick here.

Thank you; yes, it's been a full year since Kneasy's subversive program
of alternative interpretations and studied bad taste sneaked onto the site.
More to come, hopefully.
