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

I think Snape has been working hand in glove with Dumbledore 
all along--don't you think Dumbledore has ways of keeping tabs 
on the staff room? Wonder whose portraits are in there?

In any case, Snape isn't trying to keep his wound a secret or he 
would have chosen a more private place than the staff room, 
which isn't even locked.  Either he has some reason for not 
wishing to be examined by Pomfrey (she'd recognize a vampire, 
wouldn't she?), or he wishes to make it appear that he has. 

Snape might have a grudge against Pomfrey going back to his 
school days, since she helped Lupin maintain his disguise.
