Freddie (me): Excellent summaries and analysis, thanks!  My
choice for worst memory is ... Door #42 -- not yet
revealed. From Snape's actions, I agree that he thought
Harry had seen something else.  Perhaps all of Snape's
*worst* memories are in the same pensieve, and Harry would
have found the #1 Worst fairly soon? Given the sort of life
Snape has lead, memories of bullying could not possibly be
the *worst*.  Bad, yes; worst, no.
