Renee (SNIPPED):
I agree. The enmity between Harry and Snape ought not to have been 
ignored. But I've ceased to expect much psychological finesse from 
most of the people in the Wizarding World.     

Laurie:
This has probably been posted before but...isn't the whole point of Occlumency to prevent someone (especially an enemy) from reading your thoughts? It seems to me that Dumbledore wasn't ignoring the Harry/Snape enmity at all--he was actually counting on it, hoping Harry would work that much harder to protect his thoughts from Snape. Unfortunately the plan backfired...

Just my .02, of course.
