It didn't take much scholarly research on Hermione's part to figure
out that Harry was vulnerable, after the lesson to "strengthen" him he
looked like death warmed over and said he felt terrible and weak.
It doesn't sound to me that Hermione knows much about Occlumency, it
sounds to me like she's guessing and trying to cheer Harry up. This is
from book 5:
'Maybe it's a bit like an illness,' said Hermione, looking
concerned when Harry confided in her and Ron. 'A fever or
something. It has to get worse before it gets better.'
'The lessons with Snape are making it worse,' said Harry flatly.

No reason?! If I make no secret of hating your guts with an almost
insane intensity and then say I'm going to teach you something to make
you stronger would you believe me, even if my first lesson made you
sick and weak?
