If the reason that Snape was teaching Harry Occlumency was because DD
thought LV was 
accessing Harry's mind, how is it *cowardly* for Snape to
remove/protect his own 
memories?  My understanding of why Snape removed his memories was to
keep LV from 
accessing them through Harry.  If LV *reads* Snapes memories in
Harry's mind, that would 
put Snape in danger, yes, but it would/could also affect the Order. 
If LV discovered Snape 
was a spy for the Order, he could (1) kill Snape, and the Order would
lose it's insider 
information, or (2) he could start feeding Snape misleading
information to futher his own 
cause.  

Ms. Luna--who is not a great fan of Snape's, but who *admires* what
he is doing for the 
Order.
