Okay, stay calm. We have ideas about this and they are pretty good. 
At least I can help you with the reason DD can finally talk to Harry. 
The feelings Harry felt as LV possessed him, the desire to be with 
Sirius rather than live, that represents a feeling LV can never 
possess. LV could never care for any other human being more than 
himself. This feeling, this overwhelming feeling drove LV out of 
Harry's body and in essence, gave Harry protection against LV. If you 
will notice, DD never addressed Harry directly or looked at him until 
after LV was driven out. That is one bit of proof that now Harry 
is "safe." I can't say what will happen to the occlumency lessons. 
Anyone else have an idea?
