Comment:

Context can be vital.

"Filthy mudblood!"

For instance, the context of a Worst Memory can take the same scene and flip it into an entirely different meaning.

"What are you talking about? He hated my father!"

The Dark Lord never grasped underlying intentions. He focused on outward actions and this was where the Occlumens pleased him.

"Avada Kedavra."

Yes, the Dark Lord wasn't a complete stranger to mindreading, but the Occlumens had devoted his life to to the opposite art. Legilimency wasn't an option here. Some things just need to be confessed.

"Harry... take it..."

And when the confession concerns one's most shameful act of betrayal or one's most guarded desire, it might not come in this life. It might be, like that desire for one more glimpse of her eyes...

"Harry... look at me..."

...fulfilled only in death.
