zgirnius:
While I tend to share your worries about Snape's ultimate fate at the 
end of Book 7, he does talk more than you remember.

In PoA in the chapter "Snape's Grudge", he talks at some length about 
Harry, James, and the circumstances under which James saved his life. 
WHen he appears from under the Invisibility Cloak, he gives another 
little speech several sentences long.

In OotP we have the Occlumency lessons, in which he again does a lot 
of talking. And not merely about technicalities of how Occlumency is 
performed. He talks about what it is, and discusses with Harry why he 
needs to learn it, during the first lesson.

He of course talks up a storm in HBP's "Spinner's End" chapter, but I 
suppose you meant 'when Harry is around'. However, his DADA 
introductory speech is also on the long side, as are his snide 
comments to Harry when he arrives late at the school after being 
attacked by Draco.
