this up) DD would have mentioned that Harry knows how a Pensieve works
and might be tempted to peek."

Del replies :
Well, actually, Harry doesn't *really* know how to work a Pensieve. In
particular, he doesn't know how to *get out* of it, as DD knows very
well. So maybe Snape figured that Harry wouldn't be *stupid* enough to
do what he did, because let's face it : going into Snape's pensieve
without knowing how to get out of it was simply incredibly stupid.
