I didn't think that the kissing scene showed up because Harry found 
it unpleasant.  I thought it was because it was something Harry would 
much, much rather keep hidden, along with the information that the 
trio brewed and used polyjuice potion in their third year.  As a 
matter of fact, that could apply to most of the above, couldn't it?  
Even with the dementors, although Harry might not want to hide that 
they had come after him, he very likely wouldn't want to reveal what 
he experienced when they did.  Maybe there's some "don't think of a 
purple cow" going on here; faced with the possibility that Snape 
might see into his mind, everything he'd rather hide automatically 
occurs to him.  Hhhmmmmmmmmm?
