[HPforGrownups] Leglimancy and Voldemort

limerent:

 in Book 4 Voldemort is able to tell that Frank is lying
even though the chair is still turned away from Frank at that point.
And a bit earlier Voldemort could tell Wormtail was lying though it
seems they didn't have eye contact either as it made a big deal of the
fear/disgust/reluctance each time Wormtail had to look at Voldemort

Lynda:

I would speculate as well, that Frank's tone of voice and general demeanor
was that of a man who is stalling for time. He tried a lie and it didn't
work. Legiliemency would not necessarily have been an important factor in
this encounter. Its a pretty obvious last ditch effort to escape with his
life.
