I don't know whether Dumbledore wants them to try again in the 
future.  He seems to regret not teaching it himself.  But I live in 
hope that the Occlumency lesson would continue

Hands up like Hermione!  Snapeologists (sp?) are picking up all sort 
of subtle evidence to back the 'Snape-is-softening-on-Harry' from 
OoP.

I'm wondering who teaches Occlumency to Snape because it appears 
that you need a partner to learn it.  Dumbledore seems to be the 
most likely candidate because it's been mentioned that he's great at 
mind-reading (Sorry, Severus.  I'm just a simple Muggle that can't 
spell) and you do need to test yourself against the best if he wants 
to block out Voldie.
