It was same state Snape was in as the earlier prisoners of the Acid Factory had been. The only difference was that he wore what appeared to be a plain muggle jumpsuit of sorts. His robes hanging primly nearby over a suspended hook. He realized his mistake at once, the girl. He had been so busy gloating and punishing Weasley that he didn't really consider the girl a threat of any sort. Whatever she hit him with was a dark curse, the after effects was a sort of raw numbness you feel post freshly regrown skin. The more he thought about it, the more his apprehensions got clear. If his conclusions were true, then he was in a very dangerous situation, his prospects of staying alive looking bleaker by the minute. Both sides have been played expertly. If this continues, it wouldn't bode well for any side, especially for Potter and his merry bunch of miscreants. His love for Lily did outweigh his hatred for James and his marauders. That's the only reason he vowed to keep Harry safe as he hugged his only true friend's corpse. He had her eyes though everything else reminded him of James. No, that won't do, he can't let Hermione ruin Harry's life. As much as he despised the brat, he'd give his own life to protect him. The life debt already repaid when he saved them from Lupin back in third year. He'd have to get back to Dumbledore somehow.
