I dissagree with theese two points.  In OOP Snape discontinues 
Occlumency lessons with Harry, even though eveyone else believes 
that it is very important for Harry to learn Occlumency. As I stated 
in earlier posts, He possibly even set Harry up to see the memory in 
the pennsive, so he would have an excuse to stop the lessons (see 
message 66887).

As far as grading fair, several times Snape makes Harry's failed 
potion attempts vanish, and gives him a mark of 0, when others in 
the class have bigger mistakes in their potions.  Later, Snape drops 
Harry's potion sample on purpose so he can again give Harry a 0 when 
he dosn't deserve it.
