well, my take on it is that Buckbeak was trying to defend Harry, who
was under attack from someone else - he chased Snape because Snape was
the closest one to Harry.  

However, Crookshanks has never behaved in an ill-manner towards Snape
- we never see it and Crookshanks does live at Hogwarts & roams freely
around the grounds.
