(2) "Curiosity is not a sin
but we should exercise caution with our 
curiosity," says message-of-the-day-Dumbledore.  Would Harry find 
something he didn't want to know if he dug too deeply?

--Dumbledore Obviously WANTED Harry to find the Pensieve, but like in 
SS/PS he says "when you're ready you will know". Like Penny said 
there may simply have been things in there that Harry wasn't ready 
for.

Question- Once Dumbledore puts a memory into the Pensieve does he no 
longer have conscious recollection of it?

(3) Will Harry befriend Neville and will Neville seek revenge for the 
attack on his parents?

--So far in the canon Neville doesn't seem to be the type to seek 
revenge. On another note Neville is Harry's friend, but I think that 
he might possibly become more so in the future. It also doesn't 
suprise me that Harry doesn't know about Neville's parents. A lot of 
times people are uncomfortable asking about other peoples past. 

(4) Bagman is described as "muscly".  This is not a word.  Could this 
be evidence that JKR did indeed write the infamous wand order 
revision, using that non-word "untidy-haired"?

--Possibly...

(6) Crouch says to Karkaroff: "you have been brought from Azkaban to 
give evidence to the Ministry of Magic." So, was this dungeon at the 
MoM?

--That seems very likely. Does this mean that the Wizarding world 
doesn't have an established court system...
