Susan:
Ah, but consider this.  If most of the teaching staff at Hogwarts 
*knows*:  a) that DD trusts Snape implicitly; and b) that Snape is 
POSING as a Voldy Spy while actually being a DD Spy; then they'd 
*know* not to worry too much about Snape's behavior toward the Draco 
gang, right?  They'd know it's part of his cover w/ Draco, Lucius, 
etc.
