Snape's Witch's reply:
Why do you assume this to be the case?
I can find Snape requiring only one textbook: the first year Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger. Later in the series he is shown writing the recipes on a blackboard.
Umbridge states that his students are more advanced than expected by the Ministry.
But for me the best argument that he does indeed teach his improvements is what happens to Hermione in the N.E.W.T.'s class. Until that year she had been his best student, but now when she follows the book's instructions she doesn't do as well as Harry using the Prince's improvements. Could it be because Snape had taught his own recipes? IMO yes!
