I don't think Snape was ever very keen on showing his Patronus to
somebody else then to Dumbledore, it's shape was similar to that of
Lilly Evans and the proof that his loyaty to Lilly and thereby to
Dumbledore had not wavered. He had no business what ever to let his
worst rival Sirius Black in into that knowledge. Black would never have
embraced his as a brother in arms and was spitefull enough to blurt out
to the wrong person to have proof on whose side Snape really was.
Black's suspicion was a better cover for Snape.
