Well, I surely don't consider myself in any anti-Snape faction [he's 
one of my favorite characters and I admire many things about him], 
but I have certainly been a vocal opponent of his teaching style, at 
least as it is concerns Harry, Neville & Hermione.  I sure would 
love to hear why it's incongruous to disagree w/ his Occlumency 
*methods* AND to be angry with him for ending the lessons.  I must 
be missing something obvious--??

I think Snape could have done a better job at the very beginning of 
the occlumency lessons, as I've described ad nauseum, but I don't 
quite see how saying that means that I "can't" be upset that he 
kicked Harry out and stopped the lessons. In my mind, there was 
always room both for Harry to become a better, more dedicated 
occlumency student and for Snape to try a bit of a different tack in 
teaching him.
