 Nicole again, 
Don't get me wrong, I can't stand the guy as much as the next person, but he if wasn't trying to help him at that moment, he would have stunned him, or jinxed him somehow.   He was Reminding him that if he didn't close his minds, he would never be able to defeat LV.
He was trying to teach him the Occlumency in the classes, but not the right way.  There was just too much there from James.  But there was still an effort.  He is a snot, he isn't a great guy, but he if he was really, truely, an evil person, he would have done something to Harry instead of adding hints of teaching in there.

Nicole, again.
