either OotP or HBP, I can't remember ( and don't have my books with
me), Lupin tells Harry that (paraphrasing) "Everyone was doing it" or
at least that's the essence of the converstaion. My feeling after
reading HBP was that Snape probably shared it with some Slytherins and
it got around, the way things would in a boarding school...or any
school, for that matter. Simple explanation, but I think it makes
sense. Katie

I tend to agree. In HBP Lupin says everyone was doing it. What
probably happened was Snape or some other Slytherin used it after
learning it from Snape. Then people picked up on it and started using
it themselves. It doesn't seem to be an overly difficult spell.
