Juli:
But why would Voldemort teach anybody how to lie to
him? It just doesn't make much sense to me. I think
Dumbledore taught Snape how to, for this is the only
way he could spy for the Order in Voldemort's close
circle. Dumbledore like Voldemort want to be able to
read other people's minds to see who can they trust,
if all of a sudden everyone learns occlumency how can
you be sure who to trust?
