Kneasy wandered away from the others. Cap'n Neri was busy patching a 
few theoretical cracks, nothing fatal as yet. In fact Kneasy wondered 
why Snape had to have a scar at all; after all, Harry got his repelling 
Voldy. If Snape had originally *accepted* him, why would he have a 
scar?
In which case...

He turned back.
"Look mate," he said to Cap'n Neri, "ask yourself some questions. Ask 
the right ones and the answers are dead easy."

Kneasy shifted  slightly, taking the weight off his left leg as another 
half-pint of drool from the bottomless manufactuary known as Snape!Son 
insinuated itself into his shoe.

"Ole Snapey was teachin' Harry what?"

"Occlumancy, of course." replied the Cap'n.

"Occlumancy against who?" persisted Kneasy.

"Voldy.  Everybody knows that," came the answer.

Kneasy cackled.
"Right me old son! So maybe the old duffer picked Snapey to do the 
teachin' for a very good reason - Snapey's been blockin' Voldy for 
years already!"

He brooded for a few moments. Thinking's hard work when you're as dry 
as Floo powder.

"Why would Snapey learn Occlumancy? To  stop folks gettin'  into his 
head. Like who? Who're the Legilimancy experts? Only know of two - 
Bumblebore an' Voldy. An' no  way  would Viledy allow any o' his 
muckers to close 'im out - not when they was supposed to  jump  to do 
his slightest bidding. So he learned after 'e left Voldy - an' there's 
only one  could teach 'im so far as I can see."

He sighed, and then scratched vigorously.
"Could well have been a link; might even still exist, sort of, if Snape 
allows it. But he's pulled the shutters down. Voldy can't get through. 
Don't count the Dark Mark thing, that's different. But it might get 
interestin' if old DD wanted to trick Voldy. Tell Snape an' then ask 
'im to roll the shutter up a bit." He grinned. "Yeah, that could be 
fun."

He started shuffling away. "The George's open. Time for me breakfast, 
or lunch or somethin'.  Now where's me bottle-opener..."
