But how Snape could know about this? Like I try to explain in the 
post #121612 (note the try, it was late), it's a completely new 
situation.

The pains are in his scar, by his link with Voldie, not his brain.

Before him, those who learn Occlumency *couldn't* feeling strange 
pain, because, as far as we know, Harry's scar is the first one to 
exist.

There are also the difference in the attacks.

An *intern* attack of legilimency (like voldie does) is unheard. They 
doesn't know how the Occlumency can help or influence or do anything.

They improvise. And maybe it's why it didn't work on the dreams or in 
the MOM, but worked once on Snape.

Occlumency is the way to stop an extern invasion of the mind.

Harry undergo an *intern* invasion, a different attack, which need a 
different defense, apparently not the Occlumency.

Maybe it's like trying to put off a fire with Nox.

The objectif is similar, but different.
