Del replies :
Er, isn't it *exactly* what Snape told him in their very first
Occlumency lesson?

'The important point is that the Dark Lord is now aware that you are
gaining access to this thoughts and feelings. He has also deduced that
the process is likely to work in reverse; that is to say, he has
realised that he might be able to access your thoughts and feelings in
return-'
'And he might try and make me do things?' asked Harry. 'Sir?' he added
hurriedly.
'He might,' said Snape, sounding cold and unconcerned. 'Which brings
us back to Occlumency.'

Snape might have sounded unconcerned, but Harry should have been
concerned IMO. The problem is that a few minutes later, Harry
understands which corridor he's been dreaming about, and from then on
he becomes too obsessed with that corridor to ponder what Snape DID
tell him : that he was in danger of being misled and even possessed.
