Yeah, I met Weasley a few times. You're right, there was nothing there.
And no, I don't know how to occlude any more than an animagus does. Both of us seem to be naturally unreadable. I can swear to you that I don't turn into any kind of animal (except for the fun kind, when the situation requires it).
I've read up a bit on it, though. Occlusion is really hard to learn unless you have a willing legilimens to work with. Because how else will you know if you're actually doing it, right?
So all the Phoenixes who can occlude must have learnt it from Hydra Lestrange, or old Dumbledore. Possibly even Severus Snape, whom it's said mastered the legilimency spell even if he wasn't a natural at it.
