I think it's possible for Malfoy and the others that were in
Umbridge's office to already suspect him. When Harry shouts at him,
"He's got Padfoot in the place where it's hidden!" Snape brushes it
off and makes fun of Harry. But at the same time, from the Slytherin's
POV, why would Harry seemingly ask for help from Snape (albeit in a
very cryptic fashion) if Snape was really against Harry? And then his
remark that saves Neville and makes fun of Crabbe only further
clinches it. It may have been too subtle for Malfoy to notice right
away, but it's quite possible. He may have even realized it after the
fact. It also might count against Snape that he did not cooperate with
Umbridge very much.
