I had noticed that too. To be honest, I was surprised there was not more shock when 
Harry used it (and to much more dangerous effect). Yes, a lot of detentions, but no 
one seemed overly concerned such a dangerous spell had seen the light of day or 
referred to it again. Not even really bad dressing downs by any other teacher than 
Snape and Snape seemed mainly angered about how Harry might have learned it and 
his evasion on that subject.
