Occlumency

Since someone brought up the North Tower Editorials today, I thought 
I'd recommend another.  The Changeling Theory is very interesting too.

However, here's the thing.  Most people here argue that Harry's 
failure to learn occlumency was a contributing factor to Sirius' 
death.  However, it was often said that Harry believed it was making 
it worse.  If there is a little bit of Voldemort in Harry (as stated 
in cannon) then the intrusion is "internal" not external.  In which 
case occlumency would not work and possibly make him worse. (clue 
from cannon would be that Voldemort cannot block Harry and he is an 
expert legilemens/occlumens) Of course, Snape and DD probably didn't 
know that.  I don't think their overall intentions were bad.  Still, 
if occlumency is an impossibility between Harry and Voldemort, is 
Harry still to blame?
