Oryomai:
On the subject of ending Occulmency lessons, what was Severus supposed to do?  
Continue to try to teach Harry with Harry dragging his feet?  Alla said "stakes were too 
high, and he knew it".  Couldn't that mean Harry, too?  Harry knew how important him 
learning Occulmency was, yet he didn't. (SNIPPAGE)

How do you see Harry *knowing* just how important Occlumency was?  I see the lack 
of providing sufficient explanation and motive to learn as one of Snape's major 
failings.
