	HPL: Legilimency
		Legilimency, a branch of magic not normally taught at Hogwarts (at least, not at Ordinary Wizarding Level) is the ability to extract emotions and memories from another person's mind.
		Legilimency is easier when the spell-caster is physically near the target, and when the target is off-guard, relaxed, or otherwise vulnerable.
		Eye contact is often essential, so it is useful for a Legilimens to verbally manipulate his or her target into meeting the Legilimens' eyes, with the fringe benefit that the target's emotional state may bring relevant associated memories to the surface (OP24, OP26).

	Legilimency - TheBestLinks.com - Fictional realm, Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Lord Voldemort, ...
		Legilimency is, in the fictional realm of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, a branch of magic involving the practice of extracting emotions and memories from another person's mind, in a manner akin to "mind reading."
		In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, former Death Eater and Hogwarts Potions Master Severus Snape uses his talent in Legilimency to teach student Harry Potter to stop mental intrusion by Lord Voldemort.
		It has also been hinted that Voldemort excels at Legilimency, as he has on several occasions been able to determine with unerring accuracy whether people are lying.

		Legilimency is an obscure yet powerful branch of magic, by the use of which a witch or wizard may look into the thoughts of others.
		A witch or wizard skilled in Legilimency is called a Legilimens, and the spell used is also called 'Legilimens.' Someone skilled in Occlumency may succeed in preventing a Legilimency attack.
		It is also theorised that the magic of the Sorting Hat is a form of Legilimency.

		Legilimency allows in depth access to memories, often letting the person feel as if he were there.
		It seems from Voldemort's conversation with Frank Bryce that Voldemort uses wandless Legilimency (it's possible that it comes to automatically, withou concentration on the spell) to detect general falshood, although he might retreat to the spell Snape used on Harry when he wishes to see the nature of someone's lies.
		Although, it's possible that Legilimency is as obscure as Occlumency, known only to few witches and wizards, and thus most of the Wizarding World is oblivious to its existence.

		When he starts to realize he likes her (and since he is sort of a shy one with the girls) he would use legilimency to see what she thinks of him.
		She means alot to him I don't think he would want to try to confess his feelings with the fear in the back of his mind that she wouldn't feel the same.
		Even if Harry did learn to Legimens and used it on Hermione (unlikely that he would, but still possible) he would not be able to know if she did like him, unless he directly asked her or not, in which case he's be able to determine the truthfulness of her answer.

		The Dark Lord is a highly skilled at Legilimency and can almost always tell when someone is lying to him.
		It is true however, that those who have mastered the Legilimency are able to, under certain conditions, delve into the minds of there victims and interpret their findings.
		Those skilled in Occlumency are able to shut down those feelings and memories that contradict those lies and other falsehoods in the presence of one who is a skilled Legilimens.

	lebateleur: The Liar and the Auror: Part IV
		That Snape could no longer practise Legilimency was a fact well known to both the Ministry and Dumbledore, as it should have been to any Auror sent to Observe him.
		And if you truly studied Legilimency during your training as an Auror, you should know that in order to Legilimens a subject over great distances, one must be bound to that subject.
		Legilimency was the only way to obtain that knowledge, and I was the only Legilimens with enough aptitude to force the connection without the Dark Lord's knowledge.”

		We know that Severus stopped when Draco knew he was using legilimency and Draco started to counter it with occlumency.
		You can argue that Snape knew that Bellatrix was teaching him it because he used Legilimency, but he probably figured Bellatrix wanted Draco to do it, from her actions and words earlier in the book.
		Legilimency doesn't mean that LV knows -automatically- that his Death Eaters are hiding something - and it's not even certain that Narcissa herself is a Death Eater and has all that much contact with LV.

		Legilimency and Occlumency are chiefly passive branches, as far as we have seen.
		Dumbledore’s alleged omniscience might very well be nothing more than Legilimency mixed with some kind of surveillance system (the Chocolate frogs have been a popular guess).
		I said before that Legilimency and Occlumency were passive types of magic where you only saw/hid what actually existed in somebody’s mind.

		And who knows how long this would go--it took only one vision for Harry to go after Sirius, but since he (Harry) knows about Legilimency and Occulemency, he might think twice about going, since this could be another trap that could result in another horrible death.
		I think that the rest of Harry's life in the books is just going to be really complicated, depressing and darker, I guess, because of his "situation" with Voldermort.
		Nov 11 2003, 11:03 AM frankly, i wouldn't want jkr to do that whole legilimency thing again, as with the vision of sirius being tortured.

	Chamber of Secrets - Legilimency and Occlumency
		I suppose that it is possible that a person might be skilled in Legilimency, but not be trained in occlumency and therefore be susceptible to their opponent's legilimency once the tables were turned.
		So perhaps the person performing legilimency cannot at the same time perform occlumency, but the person performing occlumency can turn the tables and see inside the mind of the other, even without using the legilimency spell.
		But no doubt if they know how to use the legilimency spell properly, they could do a lot more while they are in the mind of the other.

		For a time during the course of the fifth book, Dumbledore assigns Snape the task of giving Harry lessons in a branch of magic called Occlumency, having to deal with the protection of one's mind from outside intrusion or influence.
		Snape is assigned this task because he is extremely skilled in both Occlumency and its companion art of Legilimency, both proficiencies undoubtedly useful in his undercover work among the Death Eaters.
		The classes were cut short, however, when Harry was caught using Dumbledore's Pensieve to observe Snape's Worst Memory.

		Perhaps, Legilimency only works with the thoughts one is thinking currently, like mind reading.
		I don't think that Dumbledore needs to use legilimency to "see through" people, I think he has a kind of sixth sense that makes him a really good people reader.
		And anyhow, maybe Legilimency is tightly controlled, as is Veritaserum, so if Dumbledore used it without authorisation he mightn't have had any legal proof to use against Riddle.

		I think if he was using Legilimency, he would have gotten better than a D for his OWL.
		It might not be necessary because in order to learn Legilimeny, you have to be smart and wouldn't need to look in other students minds for answers but that's not the point really.
		I don't think the teachers thought any of their students could do legilimency, so they probably didn't try to prevent that.

		Also, Harry obviously can't control his emotions long enough to block Voldemort (though he may get better at it, but I doubt it).
		Would it be better to teach him Legilimency to try and "fight fire with fire"?
		But learning Occlumency and/or Legilimency could be what stands between being tricked again and giving Voldy a taste of his own medicine.

	Thrice Defied ... *Spoilers* - Page 3 - The Final Horcrux
		The skills of Occlumency and Legilimency may go hand in hand to a degree, but talent in one does NOT mean one has talent in the other.
		So perhaps Bellatrix, like Snape, is a much better Occlumens than Legilimens, and we know she enjoys torture anyway, so it makes sense that she would rather use torture on someone unwilling to volunteer information rather than legilimency (even if she had the skill for it.) It'd be more fun for her that way.

	Allusion to Legilimency in book 1 :: Harry Potter Forum at Broomsticks And Owls
		By the way, the lexicon states that legilimency is used to extract feelings and memories from someone, so that's more than only sensing if someone's lying!
		Besides, legilimency is to extract memories and feelings, and not to read minds in the strictest sense.
		It means that you can tell whether if a person is lying to you, and how he is feeling at that moment than knowing exactly what's he's thinking at that exact moment you use legilimency on him.

		So if Legilimency doesn't require a spell, and Snape obviously didn't get the results he wanted during potions, doesn't that seem as though he wasn't able to read Harrys mind?
		Legilimency doesn't require a spell, as far as I can tell.
		Whatever Snape said, Legilimency sounded like mind reading to Harry and he did not like the sound of it at all.

		A Legilimens is a witch or wizard who has the ability to extract feelings and memories from another person's mind, allowing them (for example) to detect lies.
		On the other hand, people skilled at Occlumency are able to counteract the act of Legilimency, by shutting down feelings and memories that contradict the words spoken.
		Both Lord Voldemort and Albus Dumbledore are skilled in Legilimency, while it seems that both Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape are well-skilled in Occlumency as well.
