I definitely tent to have Snape using his own product in the privacy of his rooms... I can even see him carrying a bit with if he thinks he might get lucky, but then he's a picky bastard. *grin* OTOH, I had him use Black's wand on Black in a rape scene at #12, simply because it IS so dismissive. Why waste something good on someone he hates?
I agree that in the standard scheme of adolescent fumbling, the wand method might be a bit awkward... but then it just adds to the authenticity of teenaged sex if handled properly. It's not like they can whip up a batch of Snape's secret recipie in class and smuggle it out for their trysts in the Astronomy tower...
I think I just rambled off on the idea of why people would find a spell funny - as my brain often does. Either way works for me as long as it doesn't distract from the action.
