Snape, as Draco’s Head of House, will decide how hard or otherwise to be on him. Snape and Malfoy leave, to the accompanying 70s porn music.
No kidding. (Not to mention 'Stop telling me to come to your office then!' And of course, the sucking up, which I shall wilfully misinterpret.) Even my sister noticed this bit. Of course, that's because I read it out to her when the book was released, raised one eyebrow (I'm bragging here, I'm not that cool, I had to raise both) and leered.
I never felt so sympathetic about Dumbledore having to deal with CAPSLOCK!Harry as I do Snape dealing with Draco Malfoy, Surly Teen Death Eater.
I hope at the end, there's a really random conversation as they Apparate away. They'll be shouting over Dumbledore's death, and suddenly Snape will interject with 'You may, perhaps, have wondered why I never swung you an invitation to Slughorn's party? I must confess…that I rather thought…you had enough on your mind.'

Jeremy Irons will always be Snape to me, thanks to that Comic Relief show.
Luna says she’s noticed Ron can be a bit unkind, which frankly sounds like another one of those, “Listen up, the author is telling you how you should be judging these characters!” If you want me to think of Ron as unkind you might want to stop setting him in the middle of a universe full of vipers.
This is the Luna who's closest 'friend' is Ginny. Especially since she says she noticed this last year. What, the same year Hermione was thrilled to lead Umbridge to the murderous centaurs? Round about the time Harry and George beat up Draco? When the DA who were so much like having friends were hexing people into jelly? What did Ron do? (Wasn't Luna the one laughing at Ron mocking Goyle?)
However, nor does Harry commiserate with Hermione about how men are cads, like a gay friend would. The mystery lives on!
He does feel she's failed by not protecting him from the 'crucial' issue of having icky breasty creatures after him. Gosh, the evidence is mounting up... It just cracks me up how dramatic Harry is about having to get along with both. He's 'endured' Cranky!Ron (OMG, Harry, he's got a lot to be upset about! Plus he's a teenager!) - plus the little jab about how Ron would have made an 'excuse' to be jealous of how popular and cool Harry is in previous times. Now he's not the centre of attention with Hermione, either! Note the noble sacrifice of him being literally 'hoarse' after 45 mins (?!) of not speaking. LOL!
Oh JKR. Succinctly? Really? Was there no editor to take that one out?
Her editor is too busy with other vitally important issues, like making sure that JKR doesn't accidentally make a character better than Harry at anything. Or maybe she committed suicide thanks to professional shame?
He’s done a mean impression of her jumping up and down in her seat, and she’s used his most painful humiliations against him.
Interesting that on the impressionists side, we have Draco and now Ron who's specifically linked to unkindness this chapter and...Ginny. (What's wrong with doing impressions anyway? It's not like JKR can be objecting because it can be comedy based on mockery and vindictiveness. I do them. Of course, I hate sport too, so it's really time to fall on my sword.) Weird that Fred and George don't do them, either.
And I love that Harry's all 'I was laughing at you too, you looked stupid!' I guess that's a mark of the strength of his friendship with Ron, or something.
Remember SPEW?
Hermione's curiously silent here, considering there are house-elves serving at the party.
Something that’s just been put in the wrong bottle won’t register on the sensors.
Love that it's noted that Filch won't notice, since he isn't a 'very good wizard' (does Hermione even know he's a Squib? Because I remember Harry telling Ron.) I guess if he's just untalented and stupid, it makes it easier to laugh when he gets hexed than if it was something less fashionable like the equivalent of Muggle-baiting.
