Even if you're correct I don't think that mitigates
Snape's crime in the slightest; to start punishing
a person before you have any clear idea about what
really happened or even give the accused two 
minutes to explain his side of things is not 
justice. But I don't think you're correct,
I don't think Snape cared one bit if Harry
really broke a school rule or not, he just 
found an excuse to make Harry suffer some more
so he exploited it as far as he could.

Yes and that is not to McGonagall credit, but that was an isolated 
incident not a general pattern of behavior, and at least she
didn't do it just hours after Harry had saved the world yet 
again, and witnessed the murder of his beloved Godfather, 
and suffered physical pain so horrible he wanted to die, 
and was already in a deep depression.
