Or maybe he is tapping Voldermort's mind (no eye contact needed with 
LV - The contact is already established) in this case.

That depends first on how good Snipe is at Legilimency (I'm not 
sure). Assuming that he is qualified to do one-on-one training in 
Legilimency, then Harry might be able to ask Snipe to train him as 
part of the apology that he owes Snipe. If Harry can come to terms 
with the truth about James and Sirius at age 15 and accepts that 
Snipe has some reason to hate him as James's son and Sirius's 
god-son, a good step after the actual apology would be to tell him 
that he agrees that Snipe has cause the hate James and Sirius but 
point out that he is neither but himself. Capping this attempt to 
meet Snipe half-way by offering as a sign of his intentions to let 
Snipe Read his mind might do the job as would offering to let Snipe 
vent his frustrations about James and Sirius to Harry in private. 
Harry needs to make the first effort to patch up this relationship. 
One of the steps to mental healing is to apologize to those who you 
have wronged. BOTH of them need this healing.
