Juli asked:
" But why would Voldemort teach anybody how to lie to him?"

Del replies:
To use him as a spy on DD, for example. I'm not saying that's what
happened, it's just a possibility.

" 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?"

Del replies:
Which begs the question : was Peter Pettigrew an Occlumens? If yes,
who taught him? If not, how could he fool DD for an entire year?
Similarly : was Sirius an Occlumens? If not, how come DD didn't know
Sirius wasn't the traitor?
