Ah, yes.  You have a point here. The problem is, as usual, when you 
look at the details it falls apart.

Tell me just what intimately private information of Lupin's did 
Harry pry into? He didn't even know Lupin was a werewolf until 
Hermione TOLD him point blank even when the evidence was spelled out 
right in front of him in his own DADA assignment. (Of course if he 
put the same amount of care into Snape's DADA assignment as he did 
later into his Occlumencey lessons, despite DD's express 
instructions to 'do everything Professor Snape tells you to do!', 
one easily can see how he missed that.)

Give me an example of how Harry practiced Snape's lessons with the 
same dedication and intensity as he did Lupin's. 

Need I go on?
