I agree with you people since, I think that Dumbledore is only 
guiding Harry to help him find pieces of his past but Harry would in 
the end have to connect everything together to find out what happened 
on the night Voldemort suppposedly killed his parents.  I bet Harry 
could do with one of those pensieves sooner or later.

Lupin said he brought the cloak back from the Shreiking Shack, which 
he did--even if he did get a little bit side tracked in the process.
 
But I also kind of wonder how it (the invisibility cloak) could not 
have been totally destroyed in the scuffle, which occured when Remus 
transformed into a werewolf and Sirius held him back.
