I think it's more than that cos' Lupin somewhere in the book (I'll 
try to find where as soon as possible) tells Harry to study 
occlumensy with Snape because the latter is (I quote him from my 
memory) "a superb occlumens". How come he knows that ? Did he 
practice with him ?
At least there seems to be many indications that should lead to 
aknowledge that there is definitely something here.
