Snape’s Worst Memory allows us to glimpse in a window into the past.
Here is how the events unfolded outside after the exam… *Sirius says that he is bored *James points out Snape and calls out to him, “All right, Snivellus.” *Snape reaches into his robe to grab his wand. *James uses Expelliarmus, Impedimenta, and Scourgify against Snape. *James mocks Snape while Lily defends him *Snape uses a curse against James which leaves a gash on his face. *James curses Snape by turning him upside down to reveal Snape’s graying underpants. *Snape calls Lily a mudblood *James threatens to take off Snape’s pants Now that you have the facts, let's analyze their actions listed above and decide: Who was more at fault: James or Snape? What impact, if any, does this scene have on your opinions regarding any of the characters? In the overall scheme of Snape and the Marauder's antagonistic relationship, who was likely most at fault?

How else would he have fooled Dumbledore? I think Snape showed Harry the memory on purpose. I think Snape likes to be... right. And he likes to show people he's right. So even though he hated Harry, he wanted to show Harry what a 
Harry's father was to him. So he conveyed his memories without showing Harry he cared what Harry thought.
