>I remember saying that Harry's nose did not belong in the Pensieve, 
that is true, but from that I did not make the conclusion that it was 
mostly Harry's fault that Snape went crazy. I blame that solely on 
Snape's anger management issues.
>How about saying " Get out" and be done with it? No, I'd say Snape 
still has plenty of "inner DE" to get under control.<

Betsy:
But if Snape had just said "get out," Harry wouldn't have heard him 
because he had his nose *buried* in Snape's private memories!!!  I 
honestly think Snape was *very* controlled in his treatment of 
Harry.  And seriously, if Snape had "inner DE" issues - Harry 
would've had far deeper things to worry about then a bruised arm.

It was *entirely* Harry's fault that Snape got angry.  There was 
absolutely no excuse for Harry's behavior, and though I still like 
Harry, I was disappointed with him.
