Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Harry only complained to Hermione 
and Ron (about the lessons)?

Snape doesn't know that the lessons weakened Harry. 

Ditto with Umbridge's quill/MacGonagall, if nobody told her about the 
quill, she can't possibly know what happened.

As far as she knows, he only writes lines, with a normal quill.

and the moment in the Beauty and the Beast from Disney when Belle 
found the rose.
