Me:
You would also think that Harry would be extra motivated to learn 
occlumency, having Snape as a teacher. As Jenny pointed out, Lupin is 
nice, and therefor it wouldn't be so intimidating for Harry to share 
his memories with him. But to have to share them with Snape of all 
people. If I were Harry, I would work really hard, to learn how to 
keep him out.
