I felt that Harry was remorseful about invading Snape's private 
space, and for what he saw in Snape's thoughts.   I think Harry 
tried to tell Snape that he didn't find his father's actions 
amusing, and that Snape kicked Harry out of his office before Harry 
could explain.  And I do think that since Snape is the adult, not 
Harry, Snape shouldn't have stopped the Occlumency lessons.  
Espcially since Dumbledore specifically asked him to resume them.  
Would Sirius have died if Snape had continued these lessons?
