<<<"These memories are awful and I 
don't want Potter to know this about me."  Is it possible that 
Snape's motive WAS preventing Harry from seeing something about some 
OTHER person/people, not necessarily just that he didn't want Harry 
to see him upside in grey undies? >>>

I don't usually get in on the Snape conversations so please excuse my butting in.  What about "These memories are awful and I don't want Potter to know this about me because LV is getting into his head and I can't afford to have LV know this about me?"  Snape said to Harry after his second Legilimens attempt,  "You are allowing me access to memories you fear, handing me weapons!" Would this memory be a weapon LV could use against Snape? 

Snape is still, at the very least, meeting with those who are in LV's inner circle.  (I have a whole 'nother theory about Snape but I'm still working on it at the moment.)  Is he meeting with LV as well (the *next man* in the graveyard scene)?  If so, he doesn't want LV to have any access to this memory (or the others in the pensieve that we didn't see) that can be used against him.  He can block it himself with Occlumency.  He put it/them in the pensieve just in case HP managed to break through to Snape's mind.  He wouldn't be able to prevent LV getting the memory from HP now that LV is breaking into HP's mind.  Unfortunately, Snape didn't plan on HP sticking his head in the Pensieve.

There, I think that made sense.  I'm sure you'll tell me if it didn't ;-)
