SSSusan:
You know what, Aggie?  The way you phrased this first question really 
struck me as showing just how BIG DD's error was in OotP.  "Do you 
not think that now Harry knows the truth that DD would be able to 
teach him [occlumency]?"  If you're right, then it means that he 
could've/should've spilled the beans after the graveyard and allowed 
Harry to know.  Then he could've taught him himself in Year 5 and not 
added so much to Harry's sense that he was 1) being left in the dark 
and 2) being ignored by DD, whom he needed!  Grrrr.  

I know, I know.  This was the way the story unfolded, so hindsight 
does us no good.  But still!  Dumbledore--you really muffed this one, 
didn't you?
