animallover_11:
> did he really disobey a direct order?  We assume that it was Lupin 
or somebody that told DD about what Harry did.  But what if it was 
Snape himself that told DD what had happened.  I am not sure that I 
remember if it is stated anywhere who told DD and if DD told Snape 
to keep up with the lessons.  I only remember Lupin telling Harry he 
had to keep up the lessons.

SSSusan:
Sorry--I wasn't clear on this.  Potioncat has already addressed what 
you were asking about, I think.  I was thinking merely of DD's 
instruction *in the first place* to give Harry Occlumency lessons.  
I assumed THAT was an order.  I wasn't thinking of an order to 
*continue* them after he kicked Harry out, just that it was Snape's 
obligation to give them, period.  Does that make sense?
