I think not coming to help and not risking your ass 8) is exactly what an exemplar Slytherin would do (according to Phineas Niggellus ). But that's really bad ''quality''. Though I'm Slytherin I help my friends if necessary to shake off some tiresome guys. Of course I do it in a Slytherin sarcastic fashion .
No, not because of that, but Snape doesn't seem the type to let anyone too close to himself. If he has some friends, then I guess that only one good friend or two, but not more (maybe Lucius). That 'Slytherin gang' was mentioned in book 4 when Sirius talks to Harry.
