Ron Suggests Snape Might Be Sabotaging Harry's Occlumency Lessons

PAGES: 555-555

During a conversation about Harry's Occlumency lessons, Ron Weasley suggests that Severus Snape might not be trying to help Harry at all. He speculates that Snape could be deliberately keeping Harry's mind open to make it easier for Lord Voldemort to manipulate him. Hermione Granger strongly disagrees, reminding Ron and Harry that Dumbledore trusts Snape, and if they cannot trust Dumbledore, then they cannot trust anyone.
