Bart:
Probably, like all skills and talents, there are varying levels of 
ability in Occlumancy, Prof. Dumbledore probably has some degree of 
Occlumancy ability, but not up to the level of Morty or Sevvy.

luirhys: you must be confusing occlumency with legilimency. 

        "Legilimency is the magical skill of extracting feelings and memories from another person's mind-

       The counter-skill to Legilimency is Occlumency (and its user, known as an Occlumens),
by which one can                         compartmentalise one's emotions, or prevent a
Legilimens from discovering thoughts or memories which contradict         one's
spoken words or actions."I'm pretty sure that DD and Snape employ both abilities on a regular basis. Being very powerful wizards, they could easily do this without the recipient knowing. It was even said in that Dumbledore didn't need a cloak to become invisible, and has a disillusionment charm so strong that he could become invisible. 

This makes it plain that their abilities must be so advanced that their "victims" do not suspect anything. 

In the case of Harry and Riddle, DD might have read their minds but decided not to say anything. We all know he stresses on 'individual choice.'
