Kris here:

I am totally in belief that Snape is completely loyal
to DD. I have
read the "blow out on the lawn" as Snape once again
trying to teach
Harry to master his emotions and close his mind. Snape
has been
trying to teach this very important lesson to Harry
for at least two
years. Snape attempts to teach occlumency... Harry
doesn't practice.
Snape in OotP US pg 233-234 is trying to teach Harry
(and the whole
class)to brew the "Draught of Peace" which calms
anxiety and soothe
agitation (controls emotion)... Harry skipped a step
and is assigned
detention homework: 12" parchment on the properties
and uses of
moonstone... what is moonstone for? Its supposed
magical effects
include helping a person gain emotional balance. 

When on the lawn Snape is able to easily throw off and
block all of
Harry's spells, because he (Snape) can easily read
Harry's
intentions... since he is not controlling his
emotions.
