Darrin:

I agree that Snape taught him the spell on the spot.

Whether or not Snape wanted to reveal Harry as a Parselmouth? I don't 
even give Snape blame for being that diabolical.

Doxy:

So let me get this straight. You guys think Snape taught Draco the spell on the spot and Draco pulled it off perfectly on his first try? No practice wand movement. No repeating the spell for pronunciation. That on his first try with a spell he learned only seconds ago he was able to create a long, black, dangerous snake instead of a harmless water snake? Nope. I don't buy it. If Draco were that good how is it Hermione beat him in every subject? 

I guess you could try to argue that when Snape "whispered something" in Draco's ear he was putting him under the Imperious Curse. But again, I don't think so. Harry sees Draco smirk, not a vacant expression.
