Poor Severus. Too proud to let the other Order members know that he was possibly poisoned. I wonder if he would have told anyone if Sirius hadn't been present? Thank goodness the kids were able to get help for him.
Author's Response: Thank you!
I think there is a greater possibility that Severus might have said something if Sirius wasn't there... for sure. Though only, again, if he hadn't been able to get Dumbledore's attention first. It is very lucky for him that the kids had been spying and saw him... otherwise who knows how long before someone found him collapsed in the Library. Because of the Bezoar he might have still been alright, but... maybe not.
Thanks!
