 Neri:

>[8] Snape to Harry during Occlumency: "You are neither special 
nor important, and it is not up to you to find out what the Dark 
Lord is saying to his Death Eaters" (OotP, Ch. 26). Snape saying 
that Harry isnot special and not important seems preposterous, 
considering that they both know Harry is mind-linked with 
Voldemort. <

Pippin:

Of course it's preposterous! This is one of  Snape's favorite 
interrogation techniques. Whenever he comes out with one of 
these whoppers (GoF reminds us that the spy 'lives in disguise 
and tells only lies), Harry obligingly thinks of  the truth, thus 
exposing it to Snape's enquiring mind. Snape may know about 
the Prophecy, but Harry is not supposed to--this is Snape's way 
of finding out if Harry's question was innocent or whether he 
knows more about what's in the DoM than he appears to.

who thinks mind-linked Snape is a cool idea, but too 
Snape-centered to pan out
