There may be something to this. In fact, I think this culminates 
during the Potions OWL (Ch. 31, OotP) it says:

<<The afternoon practical was not as dreadful as he had expected it 
to be. With Snape absent from the proceedings, he found that he was 
much more relaxed than he usually was while making potions. Neville, 
who was sitting very near Harry, also looked happier than Harry had 
ever seen him during a Potions class.>>
