Alla:

Not always and not as far as I remember. Yes, I agree with you 
Harry's ability to feel something is often correct and when Snape 
attacks him on first lesson, he does just that - attacks him on the 
first lesson. Let's put aside whether Snape hated him - I believe he 
is correct, but this is an interpretation.

Fast forward to Occlumency lessons - Harry feels pain, doesn't he?

Do we ever find out if Snape had anything to do whatsoever with that 
pain? Do we ever find out if Harry had pain from the lesson, if he 
had pain at all or was it all in his mind?

I mean I vehemently argued in the past that Snape could be 
deliberately opening his mind to Voldemort, but in light of all the 
information would he really do that?

How exactly was this information corrected?
