Julie:
My problem with Snape thinking all along that Draco was supposed to
kill Harry is what Snape says a few minutes later when he's stopping
the unknown DE from Crucioing Harry--"Have you forgotten our orders?
Potter belongs to the Dark Lord..."

So, did Snape just make this up on the spur of the moment? It doesn't
seem likely to me. And if Voldemort had given some general order that
Potter was for him to deal with directly and no one else, then why
would Snape suspect all this time that Draco was going after Harry?
He wouldn't.
