way beyond a mere 'screw up'. Harry knew the pensieve held thoughts 
Snape didn't want him to see, he deliberately intruded on the off 
chance that they might contain the information he wants so badly 
about the DoM and, like eavesdroppers, learned more than he wanted to 
know. Serves him right.<

Snape left the Pensieve where Harry could get to it, also Snape showed Harry 
that he put his thoughts into it. To someone like Harry who is curious and 
will go to seek information wherever he can find it, to do that stuff in front of 
him was like waving a blanket in front of a bull. Snape should not have left 
the Pensieve where Harry could get to it and shouldn't have put his thoughts 
into it while Harry was there. Snape is an adult.

left from the days that he was a student at Hogwarts)
