Snuffles,

 
> The main point, though I think was to give Harry a reality check. All he has 
ever heard of his father have been stellar things. Everyone loved James. 
James was such a wonderful person. They see James in Harry. Etc. No one is 
that Saintly. Harry needed to see that sometimes people aren't always how 
they are perceived and that Snape has every reason in the world to dislike 
James. ( I think anyone who was ever tormented in school woul agree that 
these memories stay with you and unless you let go of them, you never get 
past them.... Snape obviously hasn't) Perhaps Harry will catch on that for 
Snape, seeing Harry everyday is like seeing James as a student.


As I've said before, though. If Snape was setting up some kind of object 
lesson to Harry, you have to question the accuracy of the entire scene.

Snape would have picked the beginning and ending that most favored his 
point, and, if it's possible to edit a Penseive, he would have done that too.

I personally believe the memories were real and never meant for Harry to be 
seen. And, though I proudly label myself as someone who views Snape with 
extreme skepticism, Harry was completely wrong to dive in there.
