Snape, trying very hard not to smile? Or is he just allergic to cats?

Sue chiming in really late to add:
I always felt that Snape knew exactly what was happening with the
Chamber. He is, after all, spending a lot of time in "Malfoy's
lap". I just thought he was amused that this is where the Basilisk
started, with an obnoxious cat (I don't think any of them knew what
was in the Chamber, not even Malfoy, BTW). Snape is quite flattered
at the young Malfoy's suggestion that he become headmaster after DD's
departure. He certainly didn't protest the idea or defend DD.
I also wonder if he was wearing a mask at the QWC, and flipping
Muggles as an earlier post suggested.
