Finwitch:

Had it been Dumbledore, I think Harry would have. Harry does not 
trust Snape. At all.

 Oh, and mind you, 16-year-olds do not, in general, feel like telling 
any adults anything at all... Privacy is a big thing for a teen. And, 
with Harry's background (surrounded by adults like Dursleys who are 
not to be trusted) I'm surprised he managed to trust anyone at all.

Including Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Dumbledore, Hagrid or himself for 
that matter. It takes trust before you tell a personal matter (like 
the Prince was to Harry) to someone.
