It's not surprising though. All you need to keep in mind is that while Sanders has basically always caucused with the democrats, he is an independent. He's been independent for his entire political career (well early on he ran thrid party campaigns before going independent to win mayor of Burlington in 1981). He only joined the democratic party in 2015 to run for president.
it shouldn't be a shock that the DNC is supporting Clinton. That said, I don't get the feeling from the DNC that they wouldn't support Sanders if he wins the nomination. It's been pretty touchy feely until this week when Clinton decided to go into attack mode. And even so, while you have attack mode, Sanders gets a nice compliment from Biden.
