zgirnius:
I think we may rest confident in the fact that Snape has evaded 
detection by Voldemort (if indeed he has) by measures other than 
refusing eye contact. If Voldemort were trying to Legilimens a Death 
Eater, and the Death Eater refused to look at him, I think Voldemort 
would object. Violently. Similarly, I think we can also conclude that 
Snape does something different and more subtle from what Draco does to 
evade Snape's Legilimency in HBP. Simply hiding the truth from 
Voldemort would not, in my view, suffice. If Voldemort could tell Snaep 
was hiding something (the way Snape could with Draco), that would be 
enough to get Snape into hot watrer with Voldemort.
