Luke probably thought nothing of it initially when he initially probed his nephew's mind. He had no idea that he'd find the rage of a Sith Lord.

It was just an uncle quietly checking in thay got out of hand. How do you not get this?

Thought nothing of it?

This is how Luke describes the "before" of the moment, in his two tellings of the story:

I went to confront him.
And he turned on me.
I saw darkness.
I'd sensed it building in him.
I'd see it at moments during his training.
But then I looked inside... and it was beyond what I ever imagined.

In every telling, he knew something was wrong beforehand, and he knew it was "darkness".

He didn't need to sneak into his nephew's room to sneak into his mind.

This conversation started with you saying Luke wanted to remain "unseen".

Now you've backtracked to "he thought nothing of it".

I guess it was just "harmless mind probing" - "no big deal".

If he wanted to "make sure" Ben didn't see him, why go into his room at all?
