Veritaserum Question

While chatting with Carole this afternoon, the following technical 
question came up...

Remember Veritaserum (truth potion from GoF)?  Say someone is 
suffering from Memory Charm-induced amnesia so that they 
have "forgotten" something crucial.  

If they were given Veritaserum, would they be able to give 
information about an event that occurred in the Memory Gap?  In other 
words, does Veritaserum give the questioner actual truth (events as 
they actually occurred) or virtual truth (events as the person 
remembers).

With all the psychobabble floating around in my head, I'm inclined to 
think that the memories were never really *erased*... perhaps just 
irretrievably repressed.  In this case, Lockheart could get his 
memory back.  OR--maybe once the memory is gone, it's gone forever.  
If that is the case, we can hang it up for Lockheart's recovery.

What do you think?
