Kamion:
I don't think Harry is actually visiting Voldemort's mind
in Deathy Hallow, it's Voldemort who is not aware that
he is invading Harry's mind.
In OotP he is fully exploring the limits of exploring
Harry's mind till at the Ministry he reaches that limit
and is seriously burning his own mind by Harry's thought
of LOVE. He then closes the backdoor from sneaking in. But
as he grows in power his mind and emotions get so fierce
that he starts leaking. He is as a light that cannot see
the shadows it casts.
He neither seems to understand that it is his own sliver
of soul that is resonating with his emotions and rages.
Nagini at the same time must suffer too intense impressions
and experience the things Voldemort is doing in messages it
can understand. Probable in images of smell, taste and heat,
as a serpent is very limited in eyesight and hearing.
If Voldemort ever notice anything odd to his snake he must
have blamed it on his capacity to control animals, if he
ever wondered why he is so well connected with Harry he must
blame it on his strong gift of Legilemency and Occlumency,
not on the Horcrux.
For someone who went so deep into Dark Arts and Black Magic
aa he did, Voldemort is pretty ignorant of such a thing as
side effects. Not just ignorant of the wisdom in elf tales
and childrens stories but also of the risks and by effects
most likely well studied and described by those who wrote
down the lore of Horcruxes. He probably slammed down the
tome as soon as he understood the formula and ignored to
read the other ongoing 75 odd chapters.
