You know, my problem with the whole Snape/Pensieve thing is this: Why did he 
wait until Harry was in the room to remove his memories? He knew when the 
lesson was scheduled to begin, why didn't he do this 5 mins. before? 
Instead, he waited for Harry to arrive, sat him down in front of his desk 
and rather blatantly removed these (to curious!Harry very mysterious) 
memories. It's almost as though Snape was ASKING for Harry to snoop. Hello, 
this is HARRY we're taling about, Mr. Notorious Meddler. So, why?  I feel 
that Harry was meant to see something.  I don't totally understand how the 
Pensieve works. Is it totally chronolgical? Is it just what happens to be 
swirling aroung at the top? Is it whatever was put in there last? I don't 
really know. And it's entirely possible that Snape wanted Harry to see the 
prank for the reasons Grey Wolf stated: to show Harry that is dad was really 
an arrogant git.  Snape's little revenges on Harry have all been mean enough 
that I wouldn't put it past him. However, Snape's reaction when he found 
Harry was intense enough that I sort of doubt that Snape meant for Harry to 
see that. Any thoughts? Was there something Harry was meant to find? was 
Rowling just trying to give us more about James while making a reason for 
Harry to fail at Occlumency?
