Tammy replies:
Oh please, if Snape had done that everyone would then be screaming
that he was neglecting his duty as a teacher. Whether Snape saw the
beginning or not, he had a duty to stop one student from hexing
another... remember that little thing about no magic in the halls?
It's called rules people, Snape loves to live by them, plain and
simple. And had Harry actually completed his task and injured Draco,
what do you think would have happened to him then? Much worse than a
mere 10 points off Gryffindor.
