OK, Snape is out, Harry takes a peek, wanting to be finished before
Snape is back. So how this is supposed to make Snape off his form, is
not clear to me. Now, if Harry would have rushed to the pensieve and
stuck his head in when Snape was attacking his mind, I could see your
point.  But now? No way. 

And of course it is an extremely unwise thing to do. After all, this is
supposed to be about Harry learning Occlumency. And being able to keep
out the best, without resorting to external means, because they most
likely will not be available if he needs the skill. He should be
trying to defend himself against a Snape in top form. That's what
learning a skill is about.

Don't ever, ever trust Harry Potter to keep his nose out of anything
which is not his business, I would say.

And how does that help him to learn Occlumency?
