Precisely. I'm not mad at Dumbledore for not handing Sirius to the Dementors just to make Snape feel better. But observe this:
Well, there you have it, Severus," said Dumbledore calmly. "Unless you are suggesting that Harry and Hermione are able to be in two places at once, I'm afraid I don't see any point in troubling them further."
Snape stood there, seething, staring from Fudge, who looked thoroughly shocked at his behavior, to Dumbledore, whose eyes were twinkling behind his glasses.
Not only does Dumbledore lie right in Snape's face, he gives Harry a nice little twinkle while at it. I'm sure Snape saw that and Snape knew perfectly well that Dumbledore was behind what happened in facilitating Harry to do what he did.
