IMO, unless Snape writes in a tiny cramped handwriting on the 
blackboard (or puts more than a spikey D on essays - which I kind of 
doubt) no one is going to notice anything. Particularly a sixteen year 
old and especially Harry who has formed a tender spot for "The Prince' 
and can't imagine feeling anything close to that for Snape. Also, since 
Sluggo is teaching I think that adds to it. It breaks up the 
association even more. Call me naive, but I don't think this is 
something we have to suspend a lot of disbelief for.
