'Yes, there was a commotion outside the door and it flew open, and 
there was that rather uncouth barman standing with Snape, who was 
waffling about having come the wrong way up the stairs, although I'm 
afraid that I myself rather thought he had been apprehended 
eavesdropping on my interview with Dumbledore

He was apprehended eavesdropping. Aberforth (I'm guessing) is pretty 
much holding him by the scruff of his neck here. Dumbledore could do 
what he wanted with him but chose to let him go.
