What I noticed was this in the chapter titled the Weighing of the 
Wands Malfoy has buttons made that said Support Cedric Diggory the 
true Hogwarts champion in red and when touched it turned green and 
said Potter stinks. This caused a a minor duel between Malfoy and 
Harry with the two curses rebounding off each other with Malfoy's 
hitting Hermione and Harry's hitting Goyle. When Snape approached 
and asked what happened Malfoy said Harry attacked him. Ron, even 
though he was not speaking to Harry at the time, tried to tell 
Snape that Malfoy had also tried to curse Harry and this curse hit 
Hermione in the face causing her teeth to get larger than what they 
were. Snape sent Goyle to the hospital wing and told Hermione that 
he saw no difference in her teeth which sent Hermione running away 
crying. He then puts Ron and Harry in detention with no punishment 
to Malfoy for his part in the duel. If you want to talk about 
unfair treatment of Harry and how he gets away wtih everything look 
at how Snape lets Draco get a way with almost anything just because 
Snape is the head of Slytherin house. This treatment of Malfoy has 
been going on since the first book and still continues throughout 
the entire series. There were two people that would actually dare 
to punish Malfoy and one of them was not actually who he said he was 
and the other is Professor Mcgonagell.

Luckdragon:
  JMHO, but I believe Snape had to keep Draco thinking Snape was on Draco's side at all times. It was integral to the plot for Draco to be thoroughly convinced of Snapes contempt for Harry and his supporters. As for the other professors I could not say.
