Oh, that's a beautiful theory.
Dumbledore forces Snape to give Harry these lessons. Snape realizes that 
they do not help at all - Harry's connection to Voldie is something 
other than Legilimency. But arguing with Dumbledore is fruitless.
So he creates this situation to achieve what he wanted - the end of the 
lessons. The only trouble is I don't believe he wanted Harry to see his 
memories, no way.
