There's the possibility that Dumbledore suspected that Harry's 
failures were due neither to poor teaching (as Harry thinks) nor 
poor study habits (as Snape thinks).  The link between Harry and 
Voldemort did not work in the same way as normal Legilimency 
and it could be that Occlumency would have been 
counterproductive in any case. ESE!Lupin theorist that I am, I 
have always regarded Lupin's insistence that the lessons 
*must* be continued with a great deal of suspicion.
