Linear regression: variance of residual

Let e_i = Y_i - Y_i hat = Y_i - bo - b1*X_i, where bo and b1 are least-square estimators of β0 and β1.
(e_i is the "residual")

Consider simple linear regression.

Prove that Var(e_i) = σ^2 [1 -1/n - (X_i-X bar)^2 / ∑(X_i-X bar)^2].

Stuck...

Any help is appreciated!

I was going to start a thread for the same question, but came across this one, unanswered. I've gotten some of the solution finished, but I'm stuck on Cov(y_i, y_i hat) (see below).

Prove that Var(e_i) = σ^2 [1 -1/n - (X_i-X bar)^2 / ∑(X_i-X bar)^2].

I have thus far:
Var(e_i) = Var(y_i - y_i hat) = Var(y_i) - Var(y_i hat) - 2*Cov(y_i, y_i hat)
Where Var(y_i) = σ^2 (by assumption of the linear model)
Var(y_i hat) = (σ^2)/n + σ^2*(X_i-X bar)^2 / ∑(X_i-X bar)^2](solved with some some manipulation)

Can anyone pick it up from there and solve Cov(y_i, y_i hat) ?? I've tried over and over to no avail. Thanks.


Edit: I should state that I know what the answer to Cov() should be in order for the final proof answer to be correct. What I need help with is the steps to solve the Cov().
