Neri again:
It is interesting that most people here think that LV can't get 
information from Harry's mind. After all, Harry himself was able to 
receive much more than emotions. He received detailed perceptions, 
both visual, sounds and touch. So do you suggest that the channel 
between the minds is only in one direction? From LV to Harry but not 
the other way around?

I'd also add that there is at least one piece of canon that strongly 
suggests the channel is bi-directional. This is the strong urge that 
Harry feels, just before portkeying out of DD's office, to strike at 
DD. How would LV know that Harry is near DD (a very rare event) and 
this is the moment to strike? The only reasonable explanation I can 
think of is that LV got some visual of DD's face through the channel. 
And note that Harry is not aware of this. He is only aware of wanting 
to kill DD. This means that if LV gets perceptions from Harry through 
the channel, Harry would not know about it unless LV tries some 
murderous move. This raises the question: how much of Harry's 
emotions and perceptions have already leaked through the channel 
without him being aware at all?
