I just think to something, about how Harry felt after the lessons, 
how it seemed that it easier to Voldie to enter in his mind, and that 
Snape should warn Harry about all that.

It could be possible that Snape simply didn't know.

Usually, a legilimency attack come from the *exterior*, with its 
action more (Snape saying the incantations) or less (voldie and DD) 
visible/conscious for the victims.

When Snape learnt it, chances are that the methods were the same, 
meaning an *exterior* attack. With no possibility to verify if it 
works until a confrontation.

Harry is a new case. For him, when Voldie is afar, the attack in 
*interior*, completely unheard. How the scar react is also new.

If a book about Occlumency exist, it probably doesn't say "warning, 
can increase the pain in the link to the Dark Lord of your days". 

Because until Harry said it (to only Hermione/Ron/DD, don't remember 
if he said to Sirius), it was unheard.

While the lessons, Snape felt his emotions, meaning basically the 
anger, but not the pain of the scar.

Even if he does, he had no mean to know if it's normal or stronger 
than usual. If he saw Harry clutching his scar, he'll think that it's 
a normal pain (if he beleive it), caused by Harry's own fault to not 
try to block Voldie. After all, he doesn't care particulary to Harry, 
just that the boy stay alive.


He know that Voldie try to enter in Harry's mind when he's sleeping. 
If he's a pro on the subject, it's on the *exterior* attacks.

He know nothing about the *interior* attacks. And it's possible that 
he couldn't forsee that his lessons (that could work very well on him 
with *exterior*) would fail with a different kind of attacks.


And in his usual 'fairness' about Harry, his first guess of the 
failure is that it's Harry's fault.

Maybe if Harry exploded earlier and during the lessons asking why it 
happen ("SHUT UP! JUST SHUP UP! YOU MAKE IT WORSE! Etc..."), Snape 
would, well, be furious and yell too, but would know the info, and 
able to think about it when calmer, and without Gryffindor reminder 
in the vinicity.

...it made sense in my head earlier.


Christelle, who confess she only want to clings to everything that 
can proves that Snape is with the Good Guy. And also want to ask to 
Jillojillo to delurk and play with us.
