But anyway I was looking at the Lexicon, and I think I found Voldemort using Legilimency on unsuspecting Harry, but I thought I knew of another example, maybe not, anyway, tell me do you think when Voldemort asks Harry to give him a stone from his pocket, has he not using Legilimency here in your opinion?

I looked at that passage again.  I am reminded that I never understood how the Stone ended up in Harry's pocket even after DD's explanation.  Nevertheless, to your suggestion - I guess it is possible because we are not given any other way he could know about the Stone, but I would point out that LV suggests Quirrel use the boy to get the Stone and when Harry says he has won the Quiddich cup, LV says "he lies, he lies".  All that was before Quirrel unwraps his turbin, so I think LV had an idea about Harry and the Stone before he had a chance to look at him.  I just can't make it all work in my head, but yes this is one possible secret use of Legilemancy.

I agree with Andy that LV performed Legilemancy on Gregorivich, but probably GG knew what LV was doing and what he was seeing.
