Valky:
I really agree with you there Greg in some ways. It is likely that the
other two memories where the prophecy memories, they would be
pertinent to take out to avoid a big conflict in the Occlumency
lessons. I still believe that they may instead have been memories he
was hiding from Voldie but if perhaps DD set some specific protection
around the room to prevent Voldie getting in during the lessons
(protecting Snape for teaching them also) then it would make sense
that the memories where removed where removed to stop Harry seeing
them. But I like your take on them anyway. The thing I mostly agree
with of all is that Snape's Worst Memory might actually be the worst
because of wht we didn't see, rather than what we did..

One simple logical explanation is that Sevvie really *did* get pantsed
by James. That could be a wort memory, and I think it's been suggested
before. Although it only half makes sense that Snape would hide the
whole thing from Harry, it would be pretty shallow of James to do
something like this over his romantic frustrations, and I would think
tht Snape would want Harry to see everything up to that point if that
was what had happened next, well maybe anyway. For me it's enough to
be going on with another theory anyway, though I know some
Snapeophiles will love it too much to move on. 

So another theory (Valky continued to the quickly emptying room)is
that the next thing that happened was something Snape did to protect
himself from being pantsed, something he shouldn't have done.
Something pretty awful or telling about Snape. 

What could those things be? Something to do with Lupin? Or something
more about Lily? I don't know but I'm keen to hear one.
