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.
