colebiancardi:

well, one could say that Harry was not in immediate danger from Snape
in HBP, either.  Snape stated that Harry was for the Dark Lord, so
Snape wasn't going to kill Harry.  Personally, I think Crookshanks is
just *smarter* than Buckbeak - hey I love Bucky, but Crookshanks is
called very smart by Sirius.  I don't know if Buckbeak has ever been
called that, but I could be wrong.

but thanks to houyhnhnm for finding the reference - I knew there was a
scene with Snape & Crookshanks and I couldn't remember which book it
was in.  I just remember that Crookshanks doesn't hiss or spit at Snape.
