I usually create protected. I do not see why methods should be really private.

Long time ago I programmed in C using Microsoft's MFC framework. They had a rule that almost all methods should be protected to allow easy subclassing. And that was excellent. Only some really low level methods were private. Mostly they were called from constructors or static methods that created instnces of the same class.
