Well, just to round out every possible theory, I think Snape was 
largely self-taught.  If, when he started spying, he had started 
exhibiting strange blocks in his mind out of nowhere, he would have 
been toast.  And it would have been awfully hard for D-dore to go 
turn him out as an Occulomens subtle enough to deceive V-mort from a 
standing start.  

I think Dumbledore and Voldemort both refined his technique, but he 
already knew a lot more than he let on to either of them.  I'm 
reckoning he picked it up to protect himself from his dad.
