  I do think there are some reasons.... Snape tries to get Harry 
*expelled* on many occasions, and at his level it would mean out of 
the wizarding world. And he does *not* fake that. Plus, as you said 
yourself, he doesn't only target Harry but all Gryffindors, and 
favours Slytherin. This has nothing to do with being *fair* or 
*moral*. Maybe Snape is lying to himself though, but I think he 
just continues his grudge against the Gryffindors and his belief that 
anything Slytherin do it's because they are martyrised (yeah right) 
and nothing based on proof.
