And that , especially in the context of the war game they call 
Occlumency lessons, is exactly why it was Harry's duty to do all he 
could to look into that Pensive. Sure Snape would get angry but 
Harry has no reason to be sensitive to Snape's feelings and 
everybody gets angry when you lose a battle. Snape lost that little 
encounter and I will cry few tears over it. I said it before I'll 
say it again, Snape was a coward to put those memories in the 
Pensive when he didn't give Harry the same opportunity for his most 
secret memories and Snape was a fool to let Harry see him do it.

And that is exactly why Harry reacted with rage when Snape did the 
exact same thing to him, and did it first.
