This is not an original thought... but I'll take credit for it! =) Some believe that it was not Dumbledore who released Harry from his spell but Snape himself. If you think back to the chapter where Harry sees Snape's memories in the pensieve, Snape was very deep into Dumbledore's plans, so despite the invisibility cloak it is quite probable that Snape knew he was there.
