 HPL: Legilimency
He is able to possess the bodies of snakes while retaining his own body, possibly through Legilimency (OP21).
This is almost certainly an instance of Legilimency, since Voldemort now knows exactly where the Stone is, and Harry hasn't been able to move enough since he got it to give himself away with a gesture.
This is immediately after the mountain troll incident, and McGonagall has just asked why the kids weren't in their dormitory, just before Hermione stepped in and lied to protect the boys.

"Legilimency is not out of the question," he answered her at last.
This quote is from our story Where the Light is (Snape is talking to a friend about the possibility of using Legilimency to "suss out" a spy in their ranks):
My answer is: Harry wasn't able to use pensieve to store his worst memories, because he didn't master the art of Legilimency (and Occlumency), I.e.

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.”
The only reason Potter could possibly have to press this point was to amuse himself, yet judging by the look on Potter's face, the brat did not appear to be pursuing this line of questioning for his own enjoyment.
Because in order for you to be in place to kill the Dark Lord, an accurate knowledge of his every thought, whim, and desire was necessary.

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.
Or at least what creature it was - even if none of them got a good enough look at it before they went out, Hermione knew what it was from the books.
Tom was really good at b.s.ing good behavior to the rest of the staff and getting away with it, but Dumbledore knew it was an act.

She didn't Legilimize (?) him because she couldn't.
It’s invasive, but it’s nothing compared to the mental-rape of a full-blown Legilimency attack.
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).

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.
This neologism was created by joining forms of the Latin words legens (reader) and mens (mind) with -mancy (which means divination).
Someone who practices Legilimency is known as a Legilimens.

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.
Would DD use Snape (or if he's himself a good legilimens, would he do it himself) to check the students?

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.
He couldn't tell if she liked him or not unless she was thinking about it.
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.

I said before that Legilimency and Occlumency were passive types of magic where you only saw/hid what actually existed in somebody’s mind.
What all four principles seem to have in common is the importance of exercising one’s will upon another’s.
Legilimency and Occlumency are chiefly passive branches, as far as we have seen.

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.
I don't know if we know that Draco is good at occlumency.
I don't think we really know whether or not Draco could prevent any fairly accomplished wizard from using legilimency on him.

It seems very likely that Voldemort is using Legilimency at this point, because Harry hasn't had much chance to betray himself through body language, even if Voldemort's eyes weren't covered by the turban.
Voldemort was actually being unreasonable to punish Quirrell for that, because the theft failed only because the Stone had been removed by Hagrid by the time Quirrell broke into the bank.
This is the first of several occasions on which Voldemort approaches a problem by trying to use Harry to solve it.

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.)

Snape's a great Occlumens, but I don't get the impression that he is a particularly good Legilimens.

Snape was trying to move up in the Death Eater ranks while still staying loyal to Dumbledore, so it was made to seem like Dumbledore had memory charmed Snape to forget the prophecy and Voldemort forcibly found about it through legilimency.

Any other time, he simply feeds the reader whatever Severus wants him to find; loyalty, lack of magic, etc. Legilimency is the ability to read minds in turn; he can plumb thoughts and memories, access the darkest depths of the psyche.
