Alla:

If I remember correctly back in the days I argued that Dumbledore 
did not know this piece of information - what Snape did and what not 
during occlumency - now I do not know.

But actually I reread the passage again and now think that it can be 
interpreted that if Dumbledore would have taught Harry, then his 
mind could have been opened further, not that any Occlumency teacher 
would have.

Does that make any sense to you? I tend to think up wierd and often 
incorrect things when I am tired.

I know one thing - this paragraph definitely is ambiguous to me.
