Finwitch:

Something came up to my mind about Harry's lack of trust considering
this Occlumency.

1) Dumbledore was acting oddly - more distant than usual.
2) Harry has a scar-vision that saves Arthur Weasley
3) The friendly adults near Harry are greatful for this.
4) Dumbledore, however, tells Harry - trough Snape whom Harry never
trusted though Dumbledore did - that Harry ought to learn a skill that
prevents him from having visions. No one tells him why.
5) Let's not forget the friendly seeming fake!Moody, who was a DE in
disguise, using polyjuice. No one, including DD, was able to tell him
from the real Moody - until *after* Harry was in danger and cleared
most of it off himself...

Harry never realised it, but... a what if: Dumbledore could have been
tricked and replaced by a DE/Voldemort by means of polyjuice potion.
If they could do that to a paranoid auror, well, I suppose they could
do it to Dumbledore, too.

Given the information Harry had, that would have been a reasonable
conclusion, and the action is NOT to learn Occlumency. You don't take
orders from the enemy, right?

It is entirely possible that Harry, without realising it, jumped right
to the action part... NOT learning Occlumency. Simply because
something was wrong in the picture! Besides, Sirius was against it.
And Sirius was giving answers...

 when Sirius was (seemingly?) agreeing to the lessons were to
continue, Snape had given up. And Lupin was with him. Well - as much
as Harry trusted them both, well - still no reason. No Occlumency.
Can't do it. What's with Sirius, now...

And then Harry finds out there's a Confundus Curse (which Sirius might
have been subjected to) making you say the opposite you want to say,
as the auror puts it on the SNEAK Marietta; The one looking like
Dumbledore says "I'm not going hiding" and then outs them all,
*leaves* with that "Study Occlumency" - when he's OBVIOUSLY going to
hiding...  

Then Harry has vision about Sirius being tortured. (Now, if Harry -
somewhere in his subconcious) believes that Sirius was under some sort
of spell (Imperius/Confundus) earlier, believing he's taken and
tortured - despite of Hermione's objections - actually, I don't see
how Harry could have been believing differently.
