Harry said Snape's Occlumency lessons weaken his mind to Voldemort's 
attacks rather than strengthened it, he insisted this was a fact 
time and again right up to and including the end of book 5. I think 
Snape was (perhaps unconsciously) sabotaging the lessons because he 
couldn't stand somebody he hated as much as Harry having something 
as powerful as Occlumency. I think that's why Snape always made sure 
Harry was as angry as possible before each lesson even though having 
a calm mind was essential in learning the subject. When Harry has a 
teacher that actually wants him to learn (Dumbledore probably) I'll 
bet he'll pick up Occlumency in one day, maybe less.
