On the issue of the handwriting, I have asked this same question 
before without getting any replies. Harry has seen Snape write his 
exam. He could see that the handwriting was cramped, small and he 
wrote a lot of matter. How is it that he didn't place the exam 
handwriting and the HBP book writing together? At least a faint - 
"I have seen this writing before...but where?" kind of contemplation 
would have been more suspenseful in HBP than this case where HP 
doesn't recognise it at all.

Just wondering,
Brady.
