Nora has also pointed to the fact that JKR's statements regarding
Occlumency leads her to believe that this skill is not all that it's
cracked up to be, and that it takes a certain kind of person to do
this. It's important that the person be able to compartmentalize
their emotions – push away their emotions.

In other words it's like wearing a mask, putting on a false facade.


vmonte again:
I also wanted to add that success in Occlumency means that you have 
the ability to hide the truth from other people (basically that you're 
a good liar).  It's interesting that Harry perceives Luna as someone 
that always speaks the "truth."
