" Harry does stupid things all the time without thinking of the 
consequences, like flying the car to school, and, well, practically 
anything else that Snape has tried to get him expelled for. I've said
it before and I'll say it again, he's a teenager, and foresight is not
a talent usually associated with that age group."

Del replies :
I completely agree. However, Snape is not a teenager anymore, he's a
grown-up, and like many adults he may have forgotten how stupidly
teenagers can act. So maybe to him it was obvious that *nobody* would
do something as stupid as diving into an enemy's Pensieve without
having figured out how to get out of it first. And he was completely
incensed to discover that Harry had indeed done such a stupid thing.
