Also I don't get the impression that Snape is 
particularly good at Legillimency. I don't think LV has to mutter 
anything under his breath, I think he just can 'read' people's minds, 
which is what makes it a powerful weapon for him. But Snape is an 
expert Occlumens, not Legillimens and therefore must use an 
incantation to focus his power.

Maria Alena:
Snape doesn't mutter anything under his breath in POA after the mud-
slinging Hogsmeade scene, in GOF when he accuses Harry of stealing 
the boomslang skin, and in any of the other instances that are 
compiled on this Lexicon page:

But other than that, I agree with you that no one has called Snape a 
good Legilimens. Besides, it's probably not too hard to read the 
truth in a kid's eyes, especially when he doesn't know that you're 
doing just that.
