(iii) It is of course part of the whole Harry/Snape dynamic that
they are both wrong about each others' motives. I don't think Snape
actively reads Harry's mind except during Occlumency, just picks up
vibes, or he would know more about Harry's motives. And of course,
he is also probably picking up vibes from the horcrux in Harry's
head, which wouldn't help.

Alla:

I believe that while Harry was wrong about Snape's loyalties he was 
always spot on about Snape hating him. But in any event I think that 
by the fact of Snape contributing to destroying Harry's life as it 
could have been, Harry by default earned the right to be as wrong 
about Snape as he wishes to and still be forgiven. And Snape 
attacking him in the beginning increased that belief of mine.

But I want to ask a question, what does picking vibes mean?

You think Snape does not legilimence Harry every time he looks at 
him? Is any other way of telepathy or something similar exists in 
Potterverse? I do not think it does, am I wrong? Something like 
empathy you mean? Picking up emotions?

I do think that Snape legilimences Harry every time he looks at him, 
otherwise why stressing that  eye contact occurs. IMO of course.

And boy do I hate that ( and yes I hate when Dumbledore does that as 
well), but I think that he does not want to let Harry know that he 
does that, because I speculate that more in depth legilimency may 
cause some sort of feeling to the mind that is being raped ( that is 
what to me legilimency is).

So I speculate that Snape can only touch very surface of Harry's mind 
without him knowing that he does something and that is how he may 
know sometimes what Harry did but not why.

JMO,
