Occlumency Lessons/ Harry as a Legilimens

As a postscript to my rather long post:

Yes, Snape is an Occlumens, not a Legilimens. In  OotP, AmVer, p. 
527, Lupin (on the Knight Bus with the kids) tells Harry (in a sort 
of whisper): "He [Snape] is a superb Occlumens." So Snape doesn't 
have the "gift" of Legilimency,, but he has a similar trait/talent, 
which allows him to use the spell successfully.
