He's arguably doing this in the Pensieve scene, sitting near them to watch what they're doing Sorry, this is a bit OT but this particular bit of the memory scene intrigues me. Snape outwardly appears to want to be alone, engrossed as he is in his exam paper and sitting in the shade by himself. I find it odd (and sad) that he doesn't leave the exam with friend/s or a group of Slytherins. He is very much alone follwing the exam when usually, everyone wants to quiz each other about answers (I *hate* that!). So then, *why* does he follow the Gryffindors? He's asking for trouble - although demonstrates his spying prowess by appearing to wander casually to a quiet spot by the lake but is presumably quite aware of who he is following....
