Serves him right what? Could you please calrify? Serves him right 
that he got possessed by Voldemort? Serves him right that he got 
almost killed?

Maybe that was what Snape really wanted? Leave Harry to Voldemort and 
see who wins? Well, luckily Dumbledore got there on time, but that 
was soo close

How do we know that? I think that with the right teacher Harry would 
have been much more succesful with occlumency (Who knows, maybe he 
indeed learned something from Snape too).

I am afraid it all comes back to Dumbledore's stupidity and Snape's 
emotional defficiency first and foremost.
