HunterGreen:
How exactly? Obviously he's not going to find out from Snape's mind, 
because of the aforementioned Occulmency, and I don't see how he 
could find out from Harry either. We all know that Harry was getting 
glimpses of Voldemort's emotions/thoughts/plans etc., but does it 
work both ways? If it did, why did Voldemort not figure this out 
until the whole snake attacking Arthur incident? Harry has a piece of 
Voldemort in his head, that's the connnection, its never been shown 
that Voldemort has access to Harry the way Harry has access to him. 
This being the case, I'm not sure Occulmency would have done any 
good, even if Harry had actually worked at it. They were trying to 
teach Harry how to block the Legimens spell, which is not at all what 
Voldemort was doing. First Harry was having glimpses into Voldemort's 
mind, then VD realized this and *planted* something there, but none 
of that allows him to look around in Harry's mind. (of course I could 
be wrong here, but that's the impression I got from GoF / OoP). 
-Also, remember that Snape said that the mind isn't like a book. If 
Voldemort performed his legimency on Harry, he might see bits of 
Snape teaching him something, but that wouldn't be odd or 
particularly interesting to Voldemort, seeing how teaching is Snape's 
*job*.
