jkoney:
The disruption to the school was only temporary. After all if you 
heard that the savior of the wizarding world, someone you heard bed 
time stories about was at your school, you would have wanted to see 
him and make comments to your friends. The novelty would have worn 
off quickly just like we see it do time and again.

If Snape was at all observant during his tenure he would have known 
that things come and go rather quickly among the students. There was 
no need to step in and try to embarrass Harry the first day of his 
class to end this novelty. Unless of course there were other more 
personal reasons. 

If anyone should have stepped in it should have been the Dumbledore 
or Harry's head of house (who happens to be the assistant head). It 
doesn't appear that either of them thought it was needed.
