Alla:

Well, yes, if you believe that Snape is good, the answer is that he 
was protecting Harry, but if you subscribe to Snape,who is out for 
himself and in HBP chose Evil path, the answer would be different.

I believe that Snape is sincere, when he degrates Harry's skills. he 
does not believe that Harry is able to defeat Voldie YET, but at the 
same time Snape knows the complete Prophecy ( that is IMO of course), 
so he thinks that at one point Harry WILL be ready to kill Voldie.

Snape is biting for time, IMO. He thinks it is useless to take Harry 
to LV yet, because Voldemort would just kill him now and I  do think 
that eventually Snape wants to be the  next Dark Lord - here his
dream 
of being widely respected Dark Wizard will come true. :-)

Right, so this is why IMO Snape did not take Harry to Voldemort.


JMO of course,
