Renee:
I can think of a reason why DD didn't offer Harry the choice: if 
Harry could remove the memories he doesn't want Snape to see, his 
motivation to learn Occlumency would be even less than it is. 
 
That's also the reason IMO, why complaints that the situation isn't 
fair (Snape can remove his memories but Harry can't) are beside the 
point. Wanting to throw Snape out of his memories ought to be an 
incentive to Harry to take learning Occlumency serious. 
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.


Alla:

I am not sure I agree. Shouldn't Harry's motivation to learn 
Occlumency be to throw Voldemort out? ( But of course it was hard for 
him to actually GET this information out of Snape)

Are you saying that Dumbledore's motivation was to INCREASE hostility 
between Snape and Harry, not to decrease it?

I am arguing that much more should have been done to help Harry and 
Snape to cross the bridge towards each other, to make them see that 
they are on the same side, IF Snape is of course.

Instead, IMO, Snape treated Harry NOT just like tough instructor of 
martial arts, but more like an enemy and of course he got the same 
attitude from Harry.


By the way, now I am  not even sure that Pensieve was Dumbledore's. I 
think Vmonte made VERY good point.

Dumbledore WOULD have tell Snape that Harry may want to take a look 
in it.

If Dumbledore indeed did so, it makes me wonder of Snape intentions 
again.

JMO,
