he probably didn't want every1 to know he was the HBP n that he invented all those curses that maybe weren't ministry approved

that's what i have been wondering too... snape knew abt the book and he didnt turn harry in because in my POV he probably wanted Harry to know some of those curses, they wud help him when he's fighting with voldemort and his death eaters... 😊

welll at the en, thanks to him shouting it out to Harry, it anyway became public that he is the Hal Blood Prince and invented some evil spells...

but I think Lupin alreday knew he invented Sectumsempra...coz in DeathLy Hallows...hE says that Snape cast Sectumsempra on George and Sectumsempra was always a speciality of Snape's!

Yeah, but im thinking he prolly did tell Dumbledore, and it prolly was'nt mentioned, i mean what would Dumbledore have against Hazrry having his book, he prolly guessed how it got into his hands in any case...

Yeah maybe sure DD knows...But that anyway will not affect his trust in Snape coz he is the best judge of Charcatre and after Voldy started Hunting down Lily, he changed....
The point is, Snape loathed Harry completely...why in the world didnt he turn Harry in to Slughorn..He cud have humiliated him na? 😆 😉

@ Lakshmi: Maybe he wanted Harry to learn Potions and other spells to help him against voldemort. 😊
