Carol responds:
It does come up and it's one of the moments when Snape gets angry with
Harry. "You are handing me weapons!" he says, indicating that Harry
*should* be resisting and isn't. Sorry I don't remember which chapter
it's in, but Snape is very definitely displeased that Harry has let
him see such an important and powerful memory and is trying to get
across to Harry that such a memory in the hands of Voldemort would be
a very dangerous weapon.
