(Sorry if I misspelled Leglimency, my mom has OotP, so I can't refer to it)
Repeatedly (at least a couple times) somewhere in the first four books Harry
wonders if Snape can read minds (I know I don't have page references, but I
will find at least one if you need proof), and we find out in OotP that, hey, he
can!
Knowing that, this passage in PoA caught my eye, "'But then...,' Lupin
muttered, staring at Black so intently it seemed he was trying to read his mind,"
(PoA, . 344 paperback, US ver). Perhaps he *was* reading his mind. Not
convinced? I knew it wasn't the only time Lupin did that, and, sure enough, I found
this, "'It has nothing to do with weakness,' said Professor Lupin sharply, as
though he had read Harry's mind." (PoA p.187 paperback, US ver)
Just food for thought, perhaps we'll see this aspect of Lupin come out in one
of the future books.
