Kim again;
Yes, but what makes Dumbledore think that Harry is now accomplished 
enough at keeping Voldemort out so that they can have their 
chapter-long conversation about "everything"? Is he assuming that 
Voldemort will not try to re-enter Harry so soon after he was thrown 
out by Harry's "heart"? Or did JKR choose to ignore the possibility of 
Voldemort returning in Harry's mind so soon so she could let Dumbledore 
have his chat and end the book?
I'm just curious why Dumbledore and Harry can now have this very long 
talk without apparent shielding against Voldemort? Or or we to assume 
that Voldy can no longer possess Harry after the event at the Ministry?
Kim (who suddenly realizes she should have read all those posts about 
Harry and possession)


Ziggie reply:
It would be safe to assume that Dumbledore had his office, at this point, very well protected.  Harry couldn't get out, Umbridge couldn't get in, and for the most part it was sealed with the exception of the two portkeys he had set to go straight there (which brings up questions about apparating in and out of Hogwart's...but that's another post).  Throughout the conversation, it would appear that Harry's anger was truly his own, and not Voldemort's.  

Therefore, it would appear that Dumbledore protected his office using the Occumenical stuff.
