There have just been too many times that Snape has been quite alone with  
Harry and has still been grossly mean and totally unfair.  Why put up the  act 
when you don't have an audience?  Was he just pretending to be so mean  in front 
of Harry so he could keep in practice (form). I don't believe  it.

Who says they didn't have an audience?  After all, Harry's picked up  quite a 
bit of Voldemort's thoughts and feelings from the scar on his  head.  How do 
we know it doesn't work both ways?  After all, Voldemort  is much more 
experienced and capable in Legilimency then Harry ever became in  Occlumency.  That's 
why Dumbledore refused to teach him Occlumency, isn't  it?
