 In this chapter Snape says that he is going to bring people who have the authority  to expel Harry and that is what he does, I do not think that it would be too much of filling in the blanks that Snape telling Dumbledore and Minerva about what happen means him wanting them to exercise their authority, IMO of course.

Pippin:
I don't think it takes too much filling in the blanks to conclude that Dumbledore and Minerva would already know what happened.

Since the car was traceable to Arthur, and it would be obvious that Harry and Ron were missing (Hermione probably reported it from the train), and likewise obvious that the car was headed towards Hogwarts at about the same speed as the train, it wouldn't take a gifted logician to deduce what Harry and Ron were up to

 The whole school knew what was going on  -- that would include Dumbledore and McGonagall. I'm sure Snape was searching the grounds with their knowledge and on their orders, and had instructions to report as soon as Harry and Ron were safe. Or don't you think Dumbledore and McGonagall would insist on that?
