When Harry used 'Sectumsempra' in Draco, he didn't *remove* anything of Draco's. He merely created cuts which, possibly, could have been handled by someone other than Snape.

Lynda responded:
My point is still relevant, however. JKR spent enough time making it
understood throughout HBP that Snape is a healer of dark magic curse
wounds whereas others, even trained healers like Madam Pomfrey are
not, that it stuck out even early in the text the first me, my family
and my friends read it. And that generally means, she meant to do just
that. Point out that Snape had skills that she had chosen not to
reveal until that point. Molly Weasley does not. Madam Pomfrey does
not. Snape does.



Bob:
I agree with Lynda.  To be honest I had not considered this before, but it makes sense because DD and every one else at the school, and the DEs, all needed and followed Snape advice with curses.
