Chys:
I reread that scene and I don't see how he could have done that 
legilimency on Harry at any point in time to make any difference and 
when he could have, he'd stepped back already to be with Hagrid and 
Minerva when his twinkle thing died out. 

*sigh* I think we're just dangling on the missing time. Does JKR even 
know there's missing time? *could have been a typo in the frenzy of 
writing. Hm. Probably not. She's too smart for that.*

It makes it sound as if DD hasn't been in contact with Hagrid -or- 
Harry since before the incident in GH so if he did his legilimency to 
check what happened so suddenly with Lily/LV at GH, he had to have 
done it in the few seconds while he was holding Harry at the Dursley's 
doorstep- AFTER they'd already decided to leave him there because of 
the blood protection, thus that couldn't have been how he'd acquired 
that information. If she had 'unwittingly' done it, then we're missing 
something and assuming that DD knew it from legilimency in that way is 
just wrong wrong, sounding so wrong. 

Something ain't adding up.
