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?
