Well, technically it's accusing Dumbledore of trying to own a slave, not of dealing in them (and it's nothing to do with House Elves).
Snape certainly thinks of Hal Potter as a 'driven, powerful, self-righteous and extremely arrogant young man'. But he's not quite stupid enough to think he can mold him. After all, he's been an eye witness to the war that's dominated Hogwarts over the last 4 years. The one fought more bitterly, ruthlessly and treacherously than even the Gryffindor-Slytherin rivalry: the war between Albus Dumbledore and Hal Potter over where Hal will spend his holidays.
I'm not sure if it's possible for a student to be expelled from his House but not the school. If Michael were taken out of Ravenclaw, however, he would be more likely to wind up in Hufflepuff than in Slytherin. He's cunning, but not ambitious; loyal but not very hardworking. Also, Snape would rather like to hang onto the House Cup a bit longer and would not want Draco Malfoy to wind up dead.
However, the last thing Dumbledore wants is to lose track of the Boy-Who-Lived completely and he's got no reason to believe that he'll ever see him again should he be expelled. Unfortunately, he doesn't realise that by this time he's already burnt his bridges with Michael - even if he had absolute proof of his good intentions, Michael will never forget some of the things he's done and will therefore never trust him.D for Drakensis
Contagious, rampant insanity isnt against the rules.
