Well, Dumbledore is MORE than just showing them. He's having Harry to 
see, hear and experience the whole thing himself. That is a much more 
effective method of learning than any words can be. In addition, he's 
giving Harry an *objective* view on things, not his own interpretation 
where ever he can.

And, you know -- I'd say that if Voldemort tries to Legilimens on 'what 
Harry learned with Dumbledore', believing like Ron&Hermione&Harry 
before the actual lessons that it's about some spells etc. I think it 
would be most *confusing* for Voldemort to see nothing but his OWN 
memories! He might even think his Legilimency failed or something...

But I don't think Dumbledore was counting on that. No, it was all 
about 'knowing your enemy'. But I would say that all book, Dumbledore 
was being very careful about what he said and did around Harry. He 
didn't, for example, give Harry any information that Voldemort did not 
already know, or be able to guess. (aside from showing Trelawney-
prediction at the end of OOP).

As for *spiders*... What about all the spiders in Harry's cupboard? And 
Dumbledore saying he's kept a closer eye on Harry than he thinks? He 
never said *how* he did that...

spiders running away from the basilisk at Hogwarts, spiders in Weasley 
Cupboard... spider on Dumbledore's hat.

Perhaps it's trough these spiders he has kept an eye on things... maybe 
there was a spider-spy in the shed, who'd tell Voldemort that 'only 
ones who know are Dumbledore and Harry..'

The Weasley shed IS getting quite crowded here... let's see -- Snape 
was at Spinner's End - possibly he had a spider spying there, but 
wasn't there in person. Aberforth might have been, as spider-animagus, 
invisibly (Albus can be invisible without a cloak - the ability could 
run in the family, as well as Legilimency) - or disguised as a broom or 
something. You know, like Slughorn pretended to be a chair?
