>And Harry should be very good at this, Snape himself said that skill 
in Occlumency is similar to skill at resisting the Imperious Curse, 
and we know Harry has extraordinary, probably unprecedented, talent 
in that regard; so Harry should be able to pick up Occlumency in five 
minutes flat. But that didn't happen. Why?<

Betsy:
Maybe because Harry wasn't trying?  He never did the homework Snape 
assigned.  Of course he didn't lean anything.  (And no wonder Snape 
got frustrated.)

>Harry was wrong to resent being thrown across the room, pelted with 
objects and threatened?<

Betsy:
Hell yeah, Harry was wrong.  You read my private journal and I'd 
throw a jar of cockroaches at you myself.  (Um... If I had a jar of 
cockroaches.  Which I don't.  Because - ewww.)  Snape grabbed Harry 
out of the pensieve, threw him towards the exit, told him to get out 
and threw something at him (above him actually - Harry didn't get hit 
by the jar) to hurry him on his way.  Actually, Snape was being very 
good at getting Harry out of the room before he *really* lost his 
temper.

And doesn't this go towards your I'd rather someone be nice than good 
argument?  We know Harry is good, but sticking his head into Snape's 
pensieve was definitely *not* nice.
