I can certainly agree that Snape's treatment of Harry has been 
abominable, completely unprofessional and abusive. I am hoping 
against hope that this awful situation is in part a cover for Snape, 
to protect his true loyalties. But I can in no way condone Harry's 
intrusion into Snape's memories. That was unconscionable. True, it 
was also completely human but we live in a fallen world. Harry should 
have known better. He should have at the very least apologized. An 
eye for an eye and the whole world will be blind.
