Snapes punishments of the thieves

When Luna, Neville and Ginny - a reflection of how interesting I find these people - are caught in the headmasters office, for theft of a valuable magical device, what does Snape do? He sends them as punishment to Hagrid to do something in the Forbidden Forest. 

Now, if these were 'standard' students that may, possibly., have been a punishment. If Snape knew ANYTHING about Luna, he'd know she'd enjoy that trip - and that neither Neville or Ginny would be really scared as they were linked to Hagrid via HRH  already. [I'm not 100% on this, but I'd assume Ginny at least would have heard from Ron about his adventures in the Forest.]

Again, a small detail, but I think its an indication that Snape was not league with the Toad, no writing painful lines on their hands, etc.

My view, excellent book, no quibbles at all on the ending, think it lines us up for future productions.
