The fact that Snape never tried to disguise his pensieve use and
didn't hesitate to leave Harry alone with it suggest to me that
meddling with a person's pensieved memories is such an appalling
breech of wizarding conduct that it never occured to Snape, a former
DE yet! that even the hateful Harry Potter would do such a thing. His
reaction certainly seems as disbelieving as it is furious. I'm really
surprised Lupin thought he could make Snape overlook this. Maybe by
appealing to the sense of duty he recognizes even if Sirius doesn't.
