Does Snape ever use Legilimency in the books before OOTP?

Science Fiction & Fantasy Asked by TheAsh on September 1, 2020

Does Snape ever clearly use Legilimency in the books before OOTP? I know Harry felt that Snape could read his mind, but do we ever see Snape knowing something that he only could have gotten (or mostly likely had gotten) through occlumency Legilimency?

One Answer

Yes.

In the Goblet of Fire, he has to return to the Death Eaters and carry on the double-agent facade, acting like he was secretly on Riddle's side. Given Voldemort's prowess in Legilimency, he would have had to conceal his thoughts from him.

Lupin also refers to him as "a superb Occlumens". This is praise he could only have earned on account of expertise, and consequently, extensive use.
