Sometimes a narrator can be unreliable. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. A narrator may know everything about the scene, including the POV characters thoughts, but he doesn't need to divulge everything. This technique would be a good way to keep your character mysterious until the narrator decides reveal his motivation and intentions.

It might become more confusing if you are switching back and forth between the two methods, or using it with several different characters. But, if you keep it subtle, it should work.
