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.

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.

Or at least not leave his memories in full view, unprotected. At least some
kind of protection spell just in case something happened, he can't have
expected nothing to happen during the classes. Considering he got hexed on
more than one occation, leaving memories in a nice fragile bowl is not a
good idea.
