I've started to think of Snape using the same kind of pedagogical skills
as drill sergeants do in american war movies. Honestly, if Harry is
going to have any use of his Occlumency, does he have to do it when
someone provoces him and insults him or when someone is nice to him and
encourages him? I'm not saying I think it's the best way of teaching it,
but I would imagine that could be a reason.
I totally agree with the studying of HP part, I think the occlumency
lessons are important both to protect Harry but also to let Snape know
how easy it is to get into his head and if there are more visions the
order doesn't know of.
BTW, am I the only one who sees Gargamel (from the Smurfs) when I read
about Snape?
