Occlumency
Please stop adding skill with Occlumency to the Harry Potter article. He failed in his Occlumency lessons with Snape in Order of the Phoenix, and did not even attempt to practice it in Deathly Hallows. In fact, he purposely did not try to block his mind because he wanted to be able to monitor some of what Voldemort was doing. Here is one of the passages to that effect in Chapter 12:


 * “Harry, you aren’t supposed to let this happen anymore!” Hermione cried, her voice echoing through the bathroom. “Dumbledore wanted you to use Occlumency! He thought the connection was dangerous – Voldemort can use it, Harry! What good is it to watch him kill and torture, how can it help?”
 * “Because it means I know what he’s doing,” said Harry.
 * “So you’re not even going to try to shut him out?”
 * “Hermione, I can’t. You know I’m lousy at Occlumency. I never got the hang of it.”
