Oh for--
it's chapter 16 of CoS. Way after Harry and Ron take the Polyjuice Potion, when Dumbledore's left the school. It's in Snape's class specifically. Snape literally just walks by Draco spewing anti-Muggleborn rhetoric and does NOTHING, even smirks and encourages the boy, or at least allows him to keep speaking.

"Now, now, Malfoy," said Snape, though he couldn't suppress a thin- lipped smile. "Professor Dumbledore has only been suspended by the governors. I daresay he'll be back with us soon enough."
　　"Yeah, right," said Malfoy, smirking. "I expect you'd have Father's vote, sir, if you wanted to apply for the job - I'll tell Father you're the best teacher here, sir -"
　　Snape smirked as he swept off around the dungeon, fortunately not spotting Seamus Finnigan, who was pretending to vomit into his cauldron.
　　"I'm quite surprised the Mudbloods haven't all packed their bags by now," Malfoy went on. "Bet you five Galleons the next one dies. Pity it wasn't Granger -"

Snape had already walked off at that point. He was smirking because Malfoy was sucking up to him.

　"I always thought Father might be the one who got rid of Dumbledore," he said, not troubling to keep his voice down."

Like how you left out that bit, but mm, no. Draco was speaking pretty loudly and he was the only one in class speaking. There's no way he didn't hear him just because he took like, 3 steps away.

"I told you he thinks Dumbledore's the worst headmaster the school's ever had. Maybe we'll get a decent headmaster now. Someone who won't want the Chamber of Secrets closed."

Damn c&p, forgot this bit because it was definitely said when Snape was in earshot.

[(Anonymous)]

Again -- it should be pretty fucking obvious from the Deathly Hallows what Snape actually thought about Dumbledore and how it differed from his public persona in front of the other Slytherins.

[(Anonymous)]

Snape is still a neckbeard though. Back to the astral plane with you!

[(Anonymous)]

Even if he didn't hear him then, I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that none of Slytherin House's constant open thirst for muggle death never once got discussed around him

[(Anonymous)]

Oh FFS -- it was pretty clear in Deathly Hallows that the two had a close relationship and Snape answered directly to him and that a lot of what Snape was doing was to be kept secret. To argue now that he relished the idea of Dumbledore being sacked is silly.

[(Anonymous)]

You're seriously trying to pretend THAT was the relevant part of the quote I posted? The relevant part is how loudly Draco was speaking, Harry made a note of it. Less than two seconds later, Draco talks about the Chamber not being closed, and shortly after that goes on about Mudbloods dying. There's no mention of him lowering his voice.

My point is it's delusional to argue that Snape "just didn't hear Draco!" Snape's relationship with Dumbledore has nothing to do with it, the point is that Snape clearly heard the shit Draco was saying and made ZERO attempts to stop him, even encouraged him or at least indulged him.

[(Anonymous)]

There's no indication that Snape heard that because Rowling made it clear that he was walking around the dungeon. You're making assumptions now. Your initial statement was that he smirked when Malfoy wished that she would die. Instead he smirked when Malfoy said he should be headmaster, and then he walked off, and then Malfoy made the comment.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm starting to get the feeling I am in the range of delusional Snape fan here, so this is probably pointless, but to reiterate: Draco was speaking loudly. He's the only one in the classroom who was speaking. Snape has, at times, (GoF comes to mind) managed to catch the Trio whispering from the other side of the room in his class. But you're trying to claim now that he really just didn't hear what Draco said, when he was at best feet away. (He was at least only a foot away when Draco made the remark about not wanting the Chamber closed; Snape was in front of Harry, who clearly heard that.)

[(Anonymous)]

SA
Granted, Snape only smirks at some point after Draco made that remark, my mistake, but the fact that he was so unbothered by said remark that he could still smirk at something Draco says is telling.

[(Anonymous)]

Telling of what? We know he was offended by the word when someone called Hermione that. That he said something in private and not in public indicates that he was keeping up his public persona because being Dumbledore's bosom buddy and taking Gryffindor's side of things probably wouldn't have done much for his role as a double-agent.

Good to know that Snape is so anti-racist he'll only object to it in the presence of a portrait, when doing so can have no possible impact whatsoever.

Don't give me that shit. I'm so sick of Snape's every shitty action being written off as ~he needed to be a spyyyy~. Even if we accept the premise that Snape was in any possible danger with Voldemort 12 years "dead" at this point and no one for whom he had to play a role being around, Snape has no problem making Harry and his friends' lives hell for shit they didn't even do -- you're telling me he couldn't have made something up on the fly to punish Draco for, to hide the underlying reason he's really punishing him? Or done something to stop the kid from fucking speaking, or done anything other than encourage him?

[(Anonymous)]

Not every action -- we know for example that he really did dislike Harry. So he wasn't pretending there.

However... we ALSO knew that he and Dumbledore were planning ahead of time for Voldemort's eventual return since Harry was a baby. Dumbledore knew it was a matter of time.

Good to know that Snape is so anti-racist he'll only object to it in the presence of a portrait, when doing so can have no possible impact whatsoever.

Well obviously...because if Snape has a history of defending half-bloods that's not going to look good on his resume. The fact that he was working with Dumbledore and helped bring down Voldemort should hopefully mitigate him not calling Malfoy an asshole to his face.

[calmdowntime]

This is fiction.

Yeah that's kind of the point of Harry Potter.
