That was Harry's doing not Snape's. If you remember that was one of
the few time Harry had any success in Occlumency; when Snape tried to
access that very private memory he was throw backward by Harry and the
Potions Master an angry burn on his hand.

So want Harry to lie, to say "I'm sorry" when it is quite obvious to
readers he is not. And I am quite sure Harry has absolutely no guilt
about it now and just wishes he'd ignored the Pensive and ripped open
his skull and looked at his brains.

Harry was very upset because he learned unpleasant things about his
father, he was not upset that he violated Snape's rights.
