Why then would Snape agree to teach Harry Occlumency? Part of the 
reason Harry is expected to learn Occlumency, I thought, was to keep 
The Dark Lord from spying in turn on Dumbledore and the Order through 
Harry, just as Harry has been able to do somewhat to Voldemort. 

Isn`t it possible that V would/could possibly receive images on his 
end from Harry`s mind -of Snape`s teachings?  Wouldn`t the fact alone 
that Snape is teaching Harry to close his mind to Voldemort put Snape 
in a compromising position?

Not to mention that Harry was able to break into Snapes mind as only 
a beginner. Voldemort, imo would probably see right through him.
