1) In book 5 we see the beginning of the exception. 
2) The fact that it is called a RESTRICTION, not a PROHIBITION doesn't 
change the status.
3) Snape's statement doesn't indicate that Draco is allowed to be 
instructed on these matters by his aunt. He is merely stating that he 
believes that Draco was - I don't think it's clear that Snape is sure 
about it.
