Potioncat:
Have we seen any life-threatening hexes?  Or are you saying he 
ignores the hexes we've seen because they aren't serious?  

Snape certainly hasn't noticed his own teeth, so it's likely he 
never knew Hermione's teeth were large or that she was bothered by 
them. I never thought of that.
