Alla:

LOL, Hanna! I do respect that. :o) and I do try to give Snape a 
credit, where I see no other choice. :)

  Alla:

But you see, we don't know, as people pointed out in the past, 
whether Snape went there. Dumbledore says that Snape "INTENDED to 
search the forest" He never says that Snape actually WENT there.

Of course, it is quite reasonable to assume that he did go, but for 
all we know, Snape may have been sitting in Hogwarts till he finally 
decided to worry a little bit about Harry and Co and notify the 
Order.

The quote reads as "INTENDED" for a reason, I think or maybe it is 
just another Mark Evans and Snape as a good teacher and order member 
he was supposed to be, went to the forest despite his fears. Who 
knows... :)
