No, there can't be a mishearing or forgetting. That's what pensieves are for.

Dan:
Absolutely--that and memory charms to slice the information out of a DE's brain.

Silmariel:
That's why I'd use Harry to retrieve the prophecy

Dan:
Right, indeed. I wonder if Voldemort would have better luck Imperius-ing Harry now that he is back to full strength. No way that Harry would've lasted 10 seconds against Voldemort based on the fight between The Dark Lord and Dumbledore.

Silmariel:
Easy thing. I remember again I can perform Imperio and 'hire' a FX man to make 
a mask. With that an a cloak (not my Papented Evil Lord tunic, another one), 
I'm another DE. But I keep saying he does not need to be there.

Dan:
No, he doesn't. He could have, though. He definately could have. I would recommend possession. 

Silmariel
If we can make great plans strictly with the little knowledge we have about 
magic, he should do better plans. He is supposed to be brilliant.

Dan:
I agree. The Dark Lord is supposed to be incredibly cunning and evil, but at this point, I think he's a very powerful wizard with idiotic plans. Thus, I see him as a cartoonish villain, with a penchant for torture. 

Silmariel:
Wich makes me ask why was he there? To steal a time-turner, maybe? If I were 
an Evil Lord and had a tturner... mm.

Dan:
Perhaps. If I was going to send a bunch of people into a super-secret research facility to steal something, might as well steal an incredibly powerful pocket-sized time machine.
