For the reasons I stated in the earlier post (which got posted twice, 
sorry).

That buckbeak DOESN'T know Snape from a hole in the ground.  They 
have never been introduced, as far as I can tell.  They never 
exchanged the "bows" ceremony, that Harry & Buckbeak have already 
done.  Buckbeak is an animal, lets not forget that.  He isn't all 
powerful and he see what he sees.  He perhaps senses Harry's 
emotions, and that could be why he attacks Snape - because of Harry's 
hatred of him, not that Snape is **evil**
