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...

Alla:
Your scenario sounds very plausible to me and I perfectly understand
Harry imagining something like that.
I was just saying in response to Carol's post that in OOP we finally
saw ( entirely in my opinion) that even in order to be a better
warrior ( and I don't agree that that is all that Harry is supposed
to be) his ubringing may have NOT been all that good, because he
learned not to trust adults and in OOP adults around him were not his
enemies (You'll forgive me if I leave a question mark over Snape's
name, but surely everybody else cared about Harry and wanted to help
him, not to harm him).
Just my opinion,
Alla
