Summary: Snape checks up on the convalescent
When Snape received the message from James' Patronus, the instinctive temptation was to race down to the Hospital Wing and see for himself that Harry was all right.
But Snape knew that every single one of the throng of Harry's friends, admirers and hangers-on would want to do the same, and that talking to so many people would in itself be a serious drain on an invalid's meagre stamina.
So Snape resolved to stay well out of it. After all, Snape had no illusions as to how welcome he was: he knew perfectly well that he wasn't one of those Harry would actually want to be at his bedside.
So he waited until Harry had been pronounced fit to leave the Hospital Wing; waited until after he'd settled back into his rooms, before he paid Harry a visit.
He knocked politely at the door to Harry's suite of rooms, calling through the door, "There's no emergency; I can always come back later," Or never. he added silently, to himself.
After all, it wasn't as if Nott would have mentioned the steady stream of experimental potions that he'd delivered to the Hospital Wing, while Harry had been unconscious or lost in pain.
