zgirnius:
You are proposing, then, that Snape picked three memories he very 
much *wanted* Harry to see, in hopes he would have an opportunity to 
leave Harry alone with them? And continued this ploy even after an 
oppportunity presented itself, and Harry very properly left the 
office with Snape? (On the occasion of Umbridge's firing of 
Trelawney). 

First, that seems really complicated and unreliable to me. Second, it 
seemd hugely OOC. Snape did not seem to me to be acting when he 
discoevred Harry viewing the memory. He really seemed not to want 
anyone to know what had happened to him.
