Yeah, that was what *really* horrified me about the scene. Not that he damn near murdered one of his classmates, complete with blood and screaming and salvation by luck (that Snape was within earshot), but that, after the first 30 seconds or so of sheer shock, his reactions were, in order, "OMG, I have to hide the book, Snape can't find out about the book!!!", "gee, I feel a touch bad about -- wait, Ginny thinks it was cool? Woo hoo!", and "OMG, Snape is such a jerk, making me miss Quidditch and file stuff just because I nearly murdered one of his students ".
