Carol, are you basing these conclusionhs on one sentence from 
Dumbledore: "I am aware of it"?


If not, could you provide more canon for :

a. When Dumbledore learned of the end of Occlumency lessons?
I argued before that he could have learned about it after MoM battle.

b. That if Dumbledore told Snape, he would have continued the lessons?

As I can see it so far, we don't know that Snape disobeyed direct 
Dumbledore's order when he ended lessons, but we also don't know that 
Snape would have agree to continue.

I think it will be very reasonable speculation to say that Snape's 
answer in responce to Dumbledore's demand would be something like 
that:

"I would rather die than teach this Potter brat again" :o)

Alla, who does not believe in ESE! Snape and who is a  Sirius' fan, 
but who also thinks that end of Occlumency lessons gives enough 
reason to suspect Snape of foul play.
