Fabian, you *do* bring up the most intriguing things.. ;D
I think there just might be something in that you know. Because it's a
strange irony. Snape on the one hand seems quite intent in making
Harry fully aware that learning stealth magic and other auror skills
should be his priority, and yet he sneers at Harry's choice to
consider these subjects for his NEWT levels. It's odd. 
Furthermore Snape is openly derisive regarding Harry's potential as a
stealth Wizard. I'd just like to see what these mismatched signs add
up to.  

During the Occlumency lessons Snape makes his long discourse about
weakness and easy prey for the Dark Lord. Then he says Harry's is not
important enough anyway, so he ought to get over himself, *then* he
calls Harry sloppy and lazy, *and* I noted before, he gets even more
angry at Harry for not repeating his Occlumency defense (which
coincided with his memory of defending Sirius) and finally in HBP
Snape is still making noises about Harry's incompetence and his [Ha!]
intention to become an Auror, all while secretly (and obviously to
me), *studying him* internally defending Sirius' memory, *then* Snapes
final words to Harry as he runs out of the castle wind back to the
same old ground, You can't beat me without stealth, No Unforgivables
for you.. 

Okay. It's a weird complex equation. JKR says she isn't good at maths
and I *believed* her. LOL

What are some reasons that Harry being an Auror is a joke to Snape: 
The first thing is that Snape thinks he's quite mediocre. Or at least
says he still thinks so.. because for some reason he's interested in
Harry's mind in HBP - Sevvie doesn't take interest in mediocre things. 
I just don't buy that it's about Harry being mediocre, but I also
can't buy that Snape has realised this interesting thing he found in
Harry is a better power or more important that stealth wizardry
because at the end of HBP he's still preaching at Harry how stupid he
is for not making that his priority. Oh it's a strange little can of
worms this one..

So heres a few explanations.

1. Snape is just plain scatterbrained, he can't decide what he thinks
from one moment to the next.. nah that just can't be it, how could he
make a good Occlumens if this was the case?

2. He's seen the power the Dark Lord knows not, in Harry, during
Occlumency, and is racing Harry to the finish line.. hmm I like that
one. But he would be very stupid to do that, I don't think it can be
done without the blood of Lily that is in Harry, now that Voldemort is
protected by it too. 
 
3. He's trying to confuse Harry, because he's OFH!ESE.. LOL it kind of
works but anyone who knows Harry knows he isn't confused about these
things, he's not paying attention to them, only overthinkers like me are.

I don't know.. There are probably some *really* simple explanations
that I have't even looked at yet. I would like to think more on my
number two suggestion, if anyone is interested in this train of
thought at all.
