Kemper now:
I don't know...
Why wasn't Harry in the Foe Glass?
Maybe the FG only shows people whose immediate intentions are to
harm/capture/somethinglikethat the person the mirror is working for
(can't think of a better word/phrase).
If that's the case, what does that say about Snape?  Nothing much.
He's still the greatest enigmatic character ever written.

Kemper, whose personal opinion is that Snape is a true Foe of CrouchJr
and LV, Foe Glass or not.
