I also think that Snape purposefully wanted Harry to see his 
memories. I think he did not want to teach Harry the Occulmency 
lessons and he needed an excuse to stop.  Snape's memories are also 
disturbing to me. There are several times in his memory that Snape 
has recorded events that he could not possibly have seen. Several 
times he is transfixed with what he is reading yet his memory has 
recorded other conversations and events outside his field of vision 
and hearing.  Snape even sees what is happening around him when he is 
hanging upside down with his clothes over his head.  Why is this?  
Are these memories completely true, or are they slightly altered--for 
Harry's viewing pleasure? I'm not sure. 
I think that Snape did not want Harry to see certain memories inside 
his head. I also think that Snape was afraid that too much personal 
contact with Harry would make the DE aware of his involvement with 
the OOTP.  


Hello all, Fred Waldrop Here;

I have thought the same thing, and even more.
On the "more" part, why would ANYONE want to be by the people they 
KNOW always are "bullying" them? Yet in the memory, we see Snape walk 
out with MWPP, walk down to the lake and sit just a few feet away 
from them. Does this really make sense to anyone? 
I remeber when I was in school, and remember when a few people would 
bully me, I would go well out of my way to make sure they did not get 
the chance to through me in a trash can or whatever they had planned 
for that day.
And just like you mentioned "There are several times in his memory 
that Snape has recorded events that he could not possibly have seen. 
Several times he is transfixed with what he is reading yet his memory 
has recorded other conversations and events outside his field of 
vision and hearing." 
Fred again; I could not understand how someone not listening 
to the conversation HEAR EVERY WORD. Is this Snapes memory? If it is, 
and he jus happened to wander down to the lake and not realise MWPP 
were there, how did he hear every word they were saying? Unless he 
was either trying to spy on them or made the memory up in the first 
place. 
It just doesn't make any sense to me. Seems like something funny is 
going on at the very least, for him to be just a few feet away from 
his mortal enemies in life, and not be watching his own back. Either 
that, or he (Snape) really did like being turned upside down by James 
and Sirius, having his underware exposed to everyone, and possibly 
more, because we did not see the end of the memory.
