Right.  The reason is that we're seeing this from Harry's POV as 
usual.  HARRY isn't supposed to know for certain that Snape broke it--
that way he can't accuse him or report him!  That Snape's a smart 
guy!  IMO, he saw what Hermione was doing, saw that Harry's back was 
turned, made a quick decision to "repay" Potter for the Pensieve 
incident.  Perfect!  Potter will "know" from the look on his face and 
the "Whoops" but he won't be able to DO anything about it because he 
didn't see it directly.  We're supposed to feel it the way Harry felt 
it--frustration and all, I think.
