Snow again:
 I meant the ones in the pencieve. I liked the idea that Voldemort 
knew about the lessons that Snape was giving Harry. Snape would have 
perhaps wanted to protect some of his own memories from Voldemort and 
placed them in the pencieve before each lesson. Now that Harry had 
seen those particular memories it would no longer be safe to continue 
giving Harry lessons with the possibility of Voldemort seeing what 
Harry had saw.
