Joey:
I still don't understand why *Snape* chose that memory to come on
top of his mind. He could have easily gone for simple,
good-for-nothing memories thus maintaining his data privacy.

Pippin:
It was a double bluff, IMO. Snape didn't want Harry or Voldemort to
know how good at maintaining data privacy Snape actually was. The
memories Snape was eliciting from Harry were not simple,
good-for-nothing ones, so it would have been suspicious if the
deflected spell  pulled fluffy-bunny memories from Snape.
