OOTP: Did Snape also stall when Harry and DA went into the Forbidden 
Forrest? 

The DA had time to ride thestrals to London, and meander through to 
the prophesy and battle DE before OoTP troops apparated to save them. 

How much time lapsed? Snape informed DD he would cantact Moody and 
the others at HQ straight away when they didn't come out of the 
forrest.  

That was a long time to wait for them to "come out ot the forrest".
