No, no one did. Harry's diversion wasn't Snape's fault, just like 
Draco's insulting Buckbeak wasn't Hagrid's. In fact I'd say that 
there is a certain similarity between the two teachers. Both have 
atrocious reputations that would give a pause to a prudent parent. 
After all they have both nearly ended up in Azkaban, and Hagrid even 
landed there for a spell in POA. Their teaching methods are 
questionable, albeit for different reasons, nevertheless they both 
know their respective subjects very well.
