I, Fred Uloth, would like to politely disagree with Mel. Harry kept his 
word about not telling the others about Neville because he respected 
Neville's privacy and his promise to DD. Harry will keep his promise to 
Snape out of embarrassment for what his father and godfather did, not 
respect for Snape. Notice that he has told some people about it, but they 
were people that already knew of the incident. He will not tell, but it is 
not for fear of Severus...I think Harry loathes Snape...he does not fear 
him. I don't think Harry fears anyone...he only fears that they will take 
the lives of loved ones (there was another thread that discussed the 
boggart that brought out this point rather well...as I delete email 
messages after I read them I cannot attribute the theory...my apologies).
