I read through the rest of this thread, and unless I missed it, foung 
one point lacking. 

What evidence do we have that Snape knew that Harry knew what a 
pensieve was or how it worked?

If we are to assume (and I am not saying he didn't) that Snape either 
provoked Harry to look at his memory by showing Harry that he'd 
removed it and also where he'd put it; or that Snape was "stupid" to 
try and hide his memory by doing it in front of Harry; we have to 
also say Snape knew Harry knew what a pensieve was.

If you walked into a room (having no pre-pensieve knowledge) and saw 
Snape put his wand to his temple and pull out silvery stuff and stick 
it in a bowl, you'd probably think that it had something to do with 
the fact that he had very greasy hair.

If Snape was not aware of Harry's pre-pensieve knowledge/experience, 
why would he worry that Harry had seen him use it? Or think that 
Harry would know how to retrieve his memories from it?

My question is: beside the "James being mean" memory, what were the 
other two memories that Snape removes that we dont see?? I'm sure 
they are much more interesting
