jwn-lan bid at 10 AND 3 seconds. Do you think it was two manual snipes? I do.

If you look at jwn-lan's completed auctions, there are other under 5 second bids that jwn-lan placed. I suggest that jwn-lan would have waited till AFTER my 10 second bid, to place his first bid and thus would have been too late to snipe again. But, since I was outed by AS's too early bid, jwn-lan bid earlier in order to be able to snipe a second time.
You are speculating; you have no way of knowing whether the other sniper is using a service or acting manually. The history you cite of under five second bids suggests a service, but again, there is no way to tell.
Apparently you won. Whether or not the other sniper's bid was a reaction to yours or not makes no difference, as either way your bid would have been raised to the winning price. His bid, whether it was placed at 45, 25, 10, 5 or 1 second, raised your bid higher, but you still won. How is it that you think AS owes you free sipes?
