 I'd be angry, too, if someone
did that to me. [re: looking in the  Pensieve]

I would too.  In fact, I was shocked and horrified at Harry's  behavior.

>And we don't know what the other memories are. If one
of them is the  eavesdropping memory, Snape would be angry at what he
*might* have seen and  would want to stop the lessons to stop a repeat
performance. (Also, it's near  the end of the year and it's clear that
Harry isn't trying to learn  Occlumency and that the lessons aren't
preventing his having those dreams.  Dumbledore may have agreed with
Snape that the lessons were a waste of time  and maybe even doing more
harm than good. It's clear that DD didn't order  Snape to resume them
or he would have done so, however grudgingly and  resentfully.o

>Carol, glad that we got the excursion into Snape's  memory showing that
Snape's resentment of James has a very real basis and  that young
James, despite his popularity as a Quidditch star and his  later
heroism, was an arrogant, bullying little berk

Wasn't DD gone from the school at that time?  I am not sure when or if  DD 
ever got the full story of the Pensieve, but he was not in any position to  
order Snape to recommence the lessons at that time.
 
BTW where was DD when he left Hogwarts and Umbridge took over?  Any  ideas?  
Could he have been staying with Aberforth?
 
Also,   when he said to Harry that some wounds are too deep to heal  [not an 
exact quote], was DD talking about Snape's hatred of James in  general or was 
he talking about that exact scene in the Pensieve?
