It would teach Harry that even mean people can be honorable and do good things.

And it could teach kids that even seemingly mean teachers can just be looking out for your best interests.

I think the who occlumency thing was a disaster because of Snape's grudge against against Harry's father. And Harry didn't put any effort into learning it. Even the best teachers can't teach a child who doesn't want to learn.

I think the whole point of the occlumency lessons was to show that there is a reason and possible justification for Snape's behaviour towards Harry. Perhaps JK is giving him a sensitivity that would make his possible death a little more bittersweet.

Who says I can't multi-task? I walked and breathed at the same time at least once today.

Yet another great thought Mike.

I also think that Harry had to see that James was all to human, not some super guy that did no wrong. There is not always black and white alone. There is a gray area too.

It kind of knocked Harry off his pedastal, which is what he needed.
