All he has  ever heard of his father have been stellar things.

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.

ANOTHER VIEW, FOR WHAT ITS WORTH:
I agree in that Snape did not leave the pesieve out on purpose for 
Harry.  The Occulmancy lessons were supposed to be secret.  So when 
Draco shows up, Snape rushes him out of the room so Draco will not 
become suspicious.  I dont think Harry had his caldron on him.....
