I now have this wonderful image of Draco and Snape doing it together
Hrm. Though it's an amusing image, I can't help thinking that, whereas Draco is irritated when Harry beats him, Snape is irritated when Harry gets attention. (Thus, for example, Draco was happy to give Skeeter fodder for anti-Harry articles, which Snape stayed out of altogether.) Though the prank does embarrass Harry, it also draws attention to him, something I'd think Snape would like to afford.
The possibility of Snape privately and mockingly mentioning it to Draco, though, after which Draco followed up on it, is quite intriguing. I'd love to see a fic (possibly later SS/HP? ::grin::) that included it.
