I think this is a completely invalid interpretation of the incident. 
Harry's purposes encompassed nothing more than overweening curiosity. 
He excused it to himself with the weak qualification that it may have 
had something to do with the Order. Harry--according to you, the 
absolute best authority on Harry--provides us nothing in canon that 
he violated Snape's privacy and trust as any kind of "defense" 
or "disarming." He did it because he was curious, and only because of 
that.

On a more general note, I understand you have formed strong opinions, 
but I wish your posts would more clearly state that they are opinions 
rather than The Correct Interpretation. I also wish you would provide 
more clear canon references if you're trying to illustrate or bring 
out a point, rather than providing a restatement of opinion. It would 
make interactions with you seem more on the level of discussions and 
less argumentative.

Thanks,
