I was under the impression that Snape's only a rudimentary 
Legilimens; after all, he has to use the spell to do Legilimency. 
Voldemort and Dumbledore certainly don't need that. 

Of course, the two types of Legilimency seem to be pretty variant, I 
mean during one you know immediately that your mind is inhabited and 
it can dig through random memories; the other is subtle (other than 
the scar-connection's complications)and seems only to read foremost 
thoughts, e.g. when Harry was sulking about Dumbledore's not looking 
at him during the hearing and his scar flashed, or when Dumbledore 
knew about Ginny in CoS.

D'you suppose Snape is going to be killed in the next book because 
Voldemort found that he uses Occlumency? That is, if he found out?
