Alla:

Hm, don't have  the book with me now. Did he say "was"? Wasn't he 
saying  that it was I who invented the spell, I the Half - Blood 
Prince. 
Again, don't have the book with me now, but it sounded to me as if he 
still calls himself that name.


Potioncat:

> shut, close your mind, don't use my spells against me....

Alla:

LOL! Maybe it would help him defeat Snape. :-)

Seriously though, I again getting back to the question Janeway raised 
earlier - does that advice sound to you as advice of someone 
who "understands" Harry and wants to teach him something?

Harry did not master Occlumency and gave up doing it, because he does 
not repress his feelings, as JKR said.

Do you think that repressing his feelings would somehow help him?

I am not sure.

JMO of course,

Alla.
