" 'My herd has banished me,' said Firenze. 'Herd?' said Lavender in a confused voice, and Harry knew she was thinking of cows" (OoP pg. 601). "[Harry] gazed blankly at the back of Parvati's head again. If he could only perform Legilimency and open a window in the back of her 
head and see what it was about trolls that had caused the breach between Pierre Bonacorrd and Liechtenstein...
   ... Bonacorrd had wanted to stop troll-hunting and give the trolls rights... but Liechtenstein was having problems with a tribe of particularly vicious mountain trolls... That was it... (OoP pg. 726)" Add to that the innumerable times Harry was quite certain he sensed Moody's eye on him, and a few other similar situations I 
don't recall at the moment, and it looks like Harry may indeed have a gift for Legilimency (though he obviously doesn't know it yet). I noticed throughout my reading of OoP that Harry seemed unusually intuitive. What say y'all?

I like it! We've been told by DD that V probably passed some of his powers into Harry (parseltounge), and that V is a skilled Legilimens (saw that at the end of SS and in other scenes where V can detect lying). But we also are told you generally need eye contact . . . no doubts about Harry's intuitions, though, and the History of Magic example flew past me in my first read - too close for coincidence? I'd say yes to Occlumency lessons, but also to Legilimency (not by Snape, though).
