I never thought of different legilimens seeing different things. I just assumed that what she would see would probably be more accurate than what I saw (and she seemed to think that was the case, as well).
I don't think she picks up on emotions the same way that I do. One man she brought in, she asked me what he was feeling, and I said that he was feeling fearful and stressed, and thinking about his family and was wondering if he'd been brought in before Bellatrix Lestrange because he'd given a couple of knuts to the neighbour's ill-treated mudblood servant (that's the word he was thinking, "mudblood"). But even though he was afraid he also seemed a bit touched with awe and admiration, like he could scarcely believe how powerful Mummy was, and oh, her daughter, too! How amazing.
But when I said all that to Mummy she said that his admiration was false, a lie that came directly from his fear of being legilimised. But how can she know for sure that it's a lie? That's what I don't understand. She said that I'll just have to learn to spot them.
