SSSusan:
You're right, we don't hear her call him fair.  OTOH, we don't hear 
her saying he's *not* fair, either, rolling her eyes about "yet 
another Snape story" from the students, or etc.  She *does* let her 
true feelings show--even in front of a classroom of students--
concerning Divination & Trelawney, so I'd rather expect her to let 
*something* show, too, regarding Snape if, indeed, she thought he 
wasn't fair.  

Perhaps she does know he's unfair at times but is bothered less by 
that than she is by an entirely fraudulent subject, which is what she 
sees Divination to be.  

Or perhaps we are back to students as a rule not complaining to 
teachers, and so she really doesn't know what goes on re: Snape & a 
couple of select Gryffindors?

So many questions, so few answers....
