I have never even hinted that Voldemort is not an enemy, as for 
Snape, he should certainly be treated as an enemy for the purposes 
of the Occlumency lessons and I think even Snape and Dumbledore 
would agree with that. But is Snape really an enemy of Harry? Only 
JKR knows for certain but I think it's a real possibility and I'll 
bet Harry feels the same way.

This "most powerful light wizard" has proven to be dead wrong over 
after over again and at the time it would be entirely reasonable to 
assume he was wrong this time too because as Harry said, if he knew 
Occlumency earlier Mr. Weasley would be dead.  

As for these wonderful lessons everybody is talking about, the ones 
that let a teacher get deep inside your head, are being taught by 
somebody you do not trust! Oh and one more little thing, the lessons 
make you feel terrible and DO NOT WORK; it's worse, the lessons are 
counterproductive, they actually make you weaker. You complain about 
this again and again up to the very end of your adventure but 
receive no satisfactory explanation for this, or an explanation of 
any sort for that matter. You are just ignored.
