There are over a hundred digest emails on my inbox, and i am not going 
to rush through them... that way i would miss the discussions and then 
repeat them over and over. However, there is something i need to get 
out of my chest and so far i haven't seen anyone discuss yet, so if the 
message title appeals to you please scroll down to the end of the 
spoiler space.

Enough.

OK, so far i have been reading the different sides defending both Harry 
and Snape. I agree with those that say that Harry was not very polite 
nor respectful looking into Snape's memories, and i also agree with 
those who say that Snape should be the adult of the two and behave 
accordingly, resuming the Occlumancy lessons with Harry.

But my point is: Snape should never have removed his memories in front 
of Harry! Please! If you have something you want to hide, why hide it 
in front of other people and let them see where you are hiding it! 
Sorry for the abuse of the exclamation marks, but i find it a bit silly 
for an adult not to know that a teenager's curiosity will be stronger 
than his or her good conscience. It would have been more logical if 
Snape had put his memories into the pensieve before 6 o'clock, before 
Harry arrives in his office, then put the pensieve away and then 
welcome Harry for his class, and the same at the end, wait for Harry to 
leave before getting those memories back. So yes, Harry did something 
very wrong, but i think in a way Snape provoked him.

That's my point. Any thoughts?
