I think the one thing he should really feel sorry for is blaming 
Sirius's death on Snape. Granted, he has not done anything 
about this feeling yet, but he will, and I think it will be the
biggest mistake he ever makes.

Harry blames Snape   for stopping the Occlumency lessons 
(while  simultaneously thinking Snape might have been using 
them to soften him up for Voldemort), for taunting Sirius into 
leaving the house, and for pretending not to understand him in 
front of Umbridge. Most of this is irrational, IMO, and canon says 
straight out that Harry  wants to believe Snape is at fault to ease 
his own sense of guilt.
