Aggie:
I agree with what you're saying, which now also raises the question, 
which teacher will bring the *most needed* results?  Taken from your 
post it seems that *Snape* will be the most effictive teacher, in the 
respect of outcomes, not teaching ability.  I hope this is making 
sense, it's past my bed time!!!  What I'm trying to say is that you 
are right.  LV is *not* going to make it easy for Harry and he needs 
to learn to use Occulmency when he is angry and frustrated.  
Dumbledore is not going to give him that platform to learn from, 
whereas Snape will.  I do think that if Harry calms down and 
acknowledges that Snape didn't play as big a part in Sirius' death as 
he (Harry) raved about then this situation *could* work out.
