	HPL: Occlumency
		Occlumency is the art of magically defending the mind against external penetration, sealing it against magical intrusion and influence - the defensive counter to Legilimency.
		Occlumency is a necessary prerequisite to defeat a Legilimens' lie-detector abilities without suspicious behaviour such as avoiding face-to-face contact and eye contact.
		Occlumency has not often been studied at Hogwarts in the years prior to the second war against Voldemort, particularly not below N.E.W.T. level.

	*OCCLUMENCY* - occlumency class
		Occlumency is, a branch of magic that concerns itself with closing one's mind against external penetration, with the intent of preventing others from reading one's thoughts or emotions.
		The companion art to Occlumency is that of legilimency, the ability to read another person´s mind.
		Both Legilimency and Occlumency are highly complex activities, owing to the complexity of the human mind.

	Veritaserum Forums > Harry Right About Snape's Occlumency Lessons?
		Jul 19 2005, 11:13 AM In OotP, Harry and Ron discuss that after the Occlumency lessons harry's scar hurts worse, and that either Harry or Ron (can't remember who) thinks that maybe Snape isn't really helping Harry close his mind, that maybe he is opening his mind to make it easier for Voldemort to penetrate.
		If he did, it was during the private occlumency lessons, but only for educational purposes.
		I think hovever, that he carried out the task of teaching Harry occlumency very involuntarinly (imagine, teching to protect himself the son of one of your greatest foes, Snape does not forgive easiily, if any at all) and used the pensieve incident to quit it.

		Occlumency is the aincient branch of magic, which seals the mind against magical intrusion and influence.
		In these days, if witch or wizard was believed to be performing Occlumency, then the muggles would punish them by burning them at the stake.
		Alot of Wizards are now learning occlumency for the great war which is now coming, which may bring an end to you know whos reign.

		As Occlumency seems to be something one must be taught (we've discussed thoughts that it can't be learned from a book,} I don't know where or how Hermione would be able to learn it.
		Maybe he can't do occlumency, but on some level he'll have to learn not to telegraph his intentions or LV will know exactly what he's going to do when they next meet face to face.
		Occlumency could play into a climatic moment where these characters have to set aside their personal hatred for each other to defeat Voldemort.

		It’s possible that the Occlumency lesson gambit may have been Plan B. Because the fact remains that Albus — or somebody — had called off the Order’s guards by the time Harry was goaded into making his raid on the DoM.
		Snape’s behavior throughout the whole Occlumency fiasco was as fishy as a dockside quay.
		Now, Snape’s Occlumency shield may have had to be lowered somewhat in order for him to attack Harry’s mind, that may be why Dumbledore wasn’t going to get involved in the lessons himself.

	MuggleNet \| Occlumency Still Has A Part To Play - An editorial by Cheri Mathieu.
		JK said Harry won’t be staying at the Dursley’s long at all this time around and I have a pretty good feeling why- he needs to continue his lessons in Occlumency.
		Add his unpracticed Occlumency skills with the things he has to try not to think about at night (Sirius, Cedric, his responsibility and destiny) then Voldie is sure to know the prophecy the first night Harry’s back on Privet Drive!
		He has got to master Occlumency as quickly as possible, try not to “Avada Kedavra” Dudely, mourn for Sirius, try not to “Avada Kedavra” Dudely, wait for his friends to come save him from the muggles, try not to “Avada Kedavra” Dudely, and deal with his responsibility of saving the world from Voldemort.

		Occlumency is easy if you can master your mind and it has nothing to do with being smart.
		He was interested with the fact that Snape had to teach him Occlumency while Hermione was doing it on her own.
		He had to finish it in order to concentrate on his Occlumency lessons, and if he could master it easily, he might as well ask Hermione to teach him Legilimency too.

		Legilimency and Occlumency are also out of the question, because occlumency would prevent visions, and legilimency would make them worse than the Seer could handle.
		Occlumency and Legilimency are obscure forms of magic that are not standard at any of the three big magic schools -- Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.
		Occlumency is the art of magically defending the mind against outside intrusion.

		Could there be another teacher to teach Harry Occlumency, my mind wonders of to Lupin since he is a good DADA teacher, second DD himself and third but not least Mad Eye Moody, the more I think about he'd be the best choice with beeing an Auror, he has to know stuff like that!
		Seems to me Harry is going to have master Occlumency FIRST before he can spend any significant amount of time with Dumbledore (although the scar-link seemed somewhat severed by the end of OotP, but it’s hard to tell.
		It does make sense to use it with Harry’s Occlumency training because Voldemort will not be concerning himself with the ethical dilemmas of mind-reading (and in this sense, it sort of validates Snapes teaching methods).

		If he hadn't learned Occlumency from Dumbledore before that time, that indicates that he would have enough innate ability to hide his thoughts long enough to recieve "formal" training.
		The witch or wizard has to have the innate ability to be able to maintain control of their feelings in order to,aster occlumency and probably legilimency as well..
		Occlumency seemed the opportune moment for the two of them to realize the truth about each other--after all, they were going to be looking directly into each other's mind!

		Wow, this one was a tough choice, I eventually voted for the Occlumency one, but then saw the Order's method of communication one had 58% of the votes or something.
		All of the questions are interesting, I would personally be happy if Snape continued to have occlumency with harry but I have a feeing that Dumbledore will take over the role.
		i voted for the occlumency one, especially considering (i feel) the communication thing has long since been answered, and even if it hasn't, that's one of those things that i really can just wait for the book to see.

		He had become much better at Occlumency once he knew how important it really was, but Snape still managed to see his thoughts occasionally.
		Professor Snape continued to teach him Occlumency, despite his objections, because there was simply no better teacher available.
		But there was no question in anyone's minds after the events at the Ministry, that Harry did need to master Occlumency and that it was of the utmost importance in the fight against Voldemort.

		Harry had become the youngest wizard to master both Legilimency and Occlumency by the end of his sixth year at Hogwarts and the unparalleled success that Harry enjoyed proved to him once and for all that he was a powerful wizard in his own right.

		Nowadays, however, his scar hardly ever stopped prickling, and he often felt lurches of annoyance or cheerfulness that were unrelated to what was happening to him at the time, which were always accompanied by a particularly painful twinge from his scar.
		Harry was so angry with her he did not talk to her for the rest of the day, which proved to be another bad one.
		Therefore, either Snape was angry at Harry for using Protego to blame the boy for his own failure at using Occlumency right away or he was angry the boy used a spell he didn't expect.

		For those of you who aren't familiar with the Harry Potter books, "occlumency" is a means of reading another person's mind; it is very advanced magic and Professor Snape practices it on Harry Potter in the fifth book of the series, in order to help Harry protect himself against it.
		So this is what happens if Professor Snape decides to do occlumency on Legolas.
		Today we will be practicing the art of Occlumency...I will need a volunteer for me to read their mind.

	CanMag- Order of the Phoenix Analysis: Who Did Snape Fool, Bruckheimeresque Action
		For those of you who forget, Occlumency not only allows you to invade a person's mind and guess their intentions, but also allows you to keep secrets and hide whether you are lying or not.
		If anything, Occlumency could be the evidence needed to suggest that even Dumbledore was fooled by Snape's loyalties.
		Since the debate still remains on whether Snape actually fired the Avada Kedavra (could have used a silent spell), it is hard to move onto where his loyalties really lie.

		Truly I think that anyone not trained in Occlumency would not be aware that there mind had been probed by Legilimency.
		When Harry was being taught by Snape he was being told that his mind was being broken into, So therefore he knew the things that came to his mind were being seen by Snape.
		Any person not aware or not prepaired in occlumency would think that these were just idle thoughts, or guilty thoughts etc.etc. Think of how many idle thoughts we have on any given day..

		I think we have to believe that Bella's abilities in Occlumency are important or we wouldn't have been told about them.
		The primary argument for Narcissa not being able to do it was that Bella gave Draco the Occlumency lessons and not her.
		I will concede that perhaps at the time of the meeting at Spinner's End, Narcissa was wearing her heart on her sleave, which, whether she could perform occlumency or not, would make her more susceptible to having her mind read.

		A summer of wallowing had brought Harry to the inevitable conclusion that he needed to take up his Occlumency lessons again, and he needed to do so as soon as possible.
		Harry had been surprised when Snape immediately agreed to resume his lessons, but believed that behind-the-scenes machinations by Dumbledore were probably at work.
		So, Harry had once again subjected his mind to the brute force that was Professor Snape's Occlumency lessons.
