I've  just had a minor revelation... is this how Dumbledore 
knows Snape really  did return to the right side? Surely Dumbledore 
possesses this talent.  We've seen much evidence of it. Hope this 
hasn't been discussed already. I  haven't been following the Snape 
trail on here. Any ideas on  this?

In OoP, Dumbledore tells Harry he (Dumbledore) should have taught  Harry 
Occlumens himself but was concerned it would give Voldemort a direct link  to what 
Dumbledore is up to, since V. could see through Harry's eyes.  He  had Snape 
teach Harry to protect the Order, and now he regrets making that  decision, 
because Harry didn't learn Occlumency from Snape due to their mutual  animosity. 
 Occlumency and Legilimens go together, so if you learn one, you  learn the 
other at the same time (at least, that's how it reads to me), so  Dumbledore 
must be a Legilimens.  There's some other place that makes me  believe he's a 
Legilimens as well, but I can't think where.  I think Lupin  might also be one, 
since he seems to read Harry's mind -- or maybe he just knew  James so well, 
he can anticipate what Harry's thinking, I dunno.   JMO.
