I think that Harry's skill at being able to throw off the Imperius 
Curse is quite important too. Snape says that in order for a person 
to skilled in Occlumency they need the same powers used in fight the 
IC. Even Harry's first attempt to fight off Snape's Legilimens shows 
that he is pretty good at doing such. Snapes says after Harry's first 
attempt that "... for a first attempt that was not as poor as it 
might have been." Which coming from Snape to Harry I think that is 
pretty good praise. Also the fact that Harry could often sense 
Voldemort's feelings without him knowing should be considered pretty 
impressive. Harry's scar hurting because Voldemort is in a bad/good 
mood is one thing,  but to know exactly what he is feeling should 
take a considerable amount of power. The attack on Mr Weasley was not 
the first time Harry saw something through Voldemort's eyes; it was 
just the first time he got caught. Harry and Voldemort share a 
connection, but if you notice every time Voldemort enters Harry, 
Harry can sense his presence even if he does not know what it he is 
sensing. His ability to sense Voldemort when Voldemort can not do the 
same, in my opinion proves that with some training Harry could be 
good at Legilimens and Occlumency.
