Montavilla47:
The only thing that I can figure is that there was an emergency meeting between Snape, 
DD, and Lupin (and perhaps Sirius) in which Snape pointed out some compelling reason 
not to continue the classes.  (Before HBP, I would have thought "I don't wanna!" would be 
enough, but after that argument in the forest, I don't think so.)

It may have been simply that Dumbledore realized that Snape and Harry were too 
distrustful of each other to get any good outcome from continued lessons.
