That's one explanation, (I can't remember who deserves the 
credit)  for "Snape made a sudden movement, but as Harry 
looked at him, Snape's eyes moved back to Fudge." in GoF.  
Now that we know about legilimency, I read that as Snape being 
surprised and looking into Harry's eyes to see if he was telling 
the truth. If Snape was surprised to find out that Malfoy had 
returned to the circle, then perhaps he thought that Malfoy really 
had been under Imperius before.
