Me:
What about Snape teaching it in steps. It's very likely with other things to
be taught. It seems to me that it was more important to give Harry something
to resist than to prepare him to fight. It was known when LV tried to take
influence on him: when he was sleeping. There is the difference to Snape's
use of it!
