(Contrast the amount of bleeding we see in George Weasley. And I suspect that the DE would have lost a hand had Snape not missed, forcing him to take the DE to safety and undo the "mistake," which would conveniently have taken them both out of the chase. BTW, how did Snape know that the fake Harry he'd Sectumsempra'd was George?)

Potioncat:
Did he know? Certainly, later he would have. At the end of the chase, everyone would know that LV had been following the real Harry. Snape would have heard that George lost his ear--possibly from mumblings at school, or there may have been something in the paper about the odd injury a prominent young businessman had sustained. And I'll bet George made up a good story about it!

Now I'm wondering if in Snape's memory we see George as George, but I don't have time to go look. Even if we do, it would be Snape's memory ofthe event almost a year later.
