Harry's a student, after all (was Snape to DADA, etc.)

Now, me:
Perhaps the reason for this is that it is a matter between headmaster and 
professor and is simply none of Harry's business.  Boy That Lived or no, he is 
not entitled to know about every relationship and its underpinnings (for 
details, see Phineas Nigellus).  Furthermore, if Snape's reasons for leaving LV and 
the DEs (good band name, that)  is as emotionally complex as some have posited 
(and I have no doubt that it is), a fifteen-year-old boy would no doubt have 
great difficulty understanding it, if he even bothered to make the effort, 
which Harry is not apt to do.
Ba, moving slowly to Slytherclaw
