Wow! I wasn't thinking that you were an idiot. :) I just saw that comment on the Newell article and thought it related to the reasons he had it in the movie. :) I see the difference in what you were asking now. My bad. :)
Yes, they have added alot of stuff that wasn't in the books.
My first impression was that it was some type of study hall. True, it is unlikely that Snape would have been so easy on them if they were taking a test and talking, but then Hermione handed Snape a 'lab' book with her work in it. I saw that as more of a journal that you hand in occasionally in school for the teacher to review, but why it was in that setting with Snape overseeing it? No clue, except for Newell's explanation...and to get Rickman more screen time. :)
