Magpie:
If that's the quote then it validates my impression. Snape isn't demanding 
Harry be expelled there. He can't personally make sure Harry gets expelled, 
and he's not even trying to here. There's no time where Harry is really in 
danger of expulsion by Snape, with someone or something else having to 
intervene. He's never made any move to have him expelled. The only times 
Harry's had reason to realistically fear expulsion, it hasn't been from 
Snape.
