> Ginger: What gets me wondering about this scene is the context as a 
memory.  <snip> The memories Snape and Harry saw of each other fit 
into these.  Candid shots, which portray a "typical scene.


Along the same lines - I tend to think that the shouting was a 
typical scene, or at least one Snape did not dwell on often.  
Otherwise, he would have removed it from his memories and placed it 
in the Pensieve along with the others.  This scene could not have 
been that important to his daily life - or perhaps he just didn't 
think it important - to have remained where Harry might reach it.

Moreover, it wasn't this scene that caused Snape to push Harry out.  
Perhaps it's overanalyzing, but Snape doesn't push Harry out until 
the final scene, where the boy is riding the broom and the girl is 
laughing at him.  I rather think it's this third scene that Snape 
finds more important, or he would have reacted faster.

(Or maybe he was just shocked that Harry got through in the first 
place.  I know I would have been.)
