One thing that does kind of baffle me though...the classification of additional magic abilities. I've always been confused on how Occlumency and Legilimency practitioners were classified. As far as I'm aware, anybody can learn it (most likely with a lot of sweat, blood, and tears) to at least some basic level. Although sometimes it's considered "sketchy" by some members of the wizarding community, seeing as it does work with the mind and I vaguely recall people in the books being at least somewhat creeped out by Department of Mysteries members, but that might be my faulty memory.

If someone could explain that to me, I'd be eternally grateful and I'd lose another something to ponder about when I should probably be asleep.
