 Maybe you've just hit the nail on the head! If Dumbledore is as 
great a wizard as he is known for maybe he WANTED Snape to teach 
Hary Occlumency because of their animosity towards one another. I 
think he was doing what he thought was best for Harry by having 
Snape teach him, unfortunately both Harry (being a teenager) and 
Snape (being raised in his abusive, dysfunctional home) were too 
immature to go through with the lessons. Maybe, after all that has 
happened now Dumbledore will have to teach him and Harry might not 
be strong enough to face LV and then, of course, Snape will have to 
step in and save him. Then, of course, Voldemort will know of 
Snape's skills...
