I would point out that Snape never seems to gain any information (about the car, the Mauraders' Map, the cloak, thefts from his stores etc.)  He never takes any action that could have been based on such knowledge.  In fact, if he had gained any knowledge, the car might have been retreved from the FF, and he might have figured out that Harry was hearing voices, or how the Map was used or that Mad Eye was a fake.  He knows none of these things even after supposedly reading Harry's mind.  In each of these examples, Harry was suffering from a guilty conscience and overactive imagination.  Note these incidents disappear after Harry learns what Legilemency really is like in OTP.

I would think that it works against you because all that it tells me that Harry learns to frame what is happening to him in more appropriate expressions when Snape invades his mind? Thanks.

Ooh.  Not exactly sure what you mean about Harry learns to frame what is happening to him - as he appears to drop all references to any suspicions he was being legilimized secretly. I was trying to say once he found out what it was really like (instead of relying on rumors from the Twins) he knew nothing was going on.
