shocked by DD pleading I can imagine that DD was being shocked because
of "for the first time in his life" part. It is unnecessary for me for
JKR to insert the part of "DD was looking shocked", etc. Makes sense?

Carol responds:
But, Alla, can you please explain why Dumbledore, who has been asking
Harry to fetch Snape up to the point when he had to freeze him, would
be shocked by Snape's running into the room and looking around? (It's
*Harry* who's shocked, and his shock comes from DD's pleading voice.)

So, no, it doesn't make sense. And note your use of "imagine" when
Sydney and Magpie are talking about the words on the page.

"Pleading" does not equal "shock."
