Potioncat:
Quite a few readers put the two samples of handwriting together and 
came up with the right conclusion. Harry...well, he doesn't even know 
McGlaggen, a Gryffindor only one year ahead of him.

We saw that test-taking, teen Snape wrote in a cramped style...trying 
to fit all the information on the page. The same teen was trying to 
squeeze his notes onto the pages of his potions book. Have we seen 
Professor Snape's writing on the board?  Yes, I know the  kids  have, 
but have we been given a description? I do recall one tall spikey D 
which Harry received on a paper.

Professor Snape's handwriting, when he has enough room, or when he 
projects via wand to board, may not be so cramped.
