Um, Okay. Right after Snape says that, Harry says that he made that
rule on the spot, so who is telling the truth here? I mean, isn't it
possible that the first years are given the detailed introduction to
the Hogwarts library and detailed pamphlet of what the rules are.

So, I think it is very possible to speculate that Harry did not see
any rule to that effect and speaks from the experience.

We have two statements that contradict each other here, no? I was
asking for back up of one of them.

I also just realised something else - isn't Remus reading the book
in the Pensieve scene, outside?

You know, this is a GREAT point. As I said earlier I cannot imagine 
Hermione fighting with Snape, especially after she just lied to the 
teacher probably for the first time in her life. Poor dear was 
probably so afraid to get expelled if she intervenes, this first 
year Hermione is not too trained in breaking up rules, yet, she is 
just started, IMO.

But how many times she corrects Harry and Ron,when they get the 
various rules wrong ( you cannot apparate in Hogwarts, etc,etc).

She does not correct Harry here. Very nice. :)

JMO,
