zgirnius:
IMO, no way did Snape think Lupin was more qualified to deal with a 
Dark Object than he was. So yes, I think this was because Snape knew 
who made it, hence his reference to "directly from the 
manufacturers". 

Oh, and Harry was not exploring a dark corridor at night, that was in 
the PoA movie. In the book, Harry's Cloak slipped off for a moment 
during an illicit visit to Hogsmeade, and Snape lectured Harry in his 
office connection to that and demanded he empty his pockets.

zgirnius:
The creaky door you mention was Snape coming in, so in my opinion he 
heard everything after that point, and nothing more. Pre-DH there 
were some theories that he heard a bunch more but was pretending 
because he hates Sirius. I don't think they make any sense at all in 
light of what were revealed to be Snape's motivations in DH. However 
much he hated Sirius, if he thought Peter was the traitor, he would 
hate him too, and want to take steps to bring him to justice.
