Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

"Master, one question, why is it so different learning occlumency with you?"

"Well, a few things come immediately to mind. Your Professor Snape didn't like you, in fact he hated you. I'm sure that was part of it, and didn't you tell me Dumbledore said he was a natural occlumens?" After receiving a nod he continued, "Such a thing is rare and such wizards are, whether they realize it or not, actually experiencing a form of a mental dysfunction in the sense they seldom are in touch with their feelings. They seldom connect emotionally with anyone and they have great difficulty putting themselves in the shoes of another. As result they tend to completely lack any sort of empathy. Their methodology of occlumency is different and despite his mastery of occlumency, it is quite possible he had no idea of how to teach it."

"That explains Snape, but what about Dumbledore?"

"Have you ever considered the possibility that he too, was a natural occlumens?"
