But this wasn't the Pensieve...this was when Harry and Severus were in Occulmency lessons.  The passage before it:

He [Snape] raised his wand.  "One - two - three - *Legilimens*!"
A hundred dementors were swooping toward Harry across the lake in the grounds....He screwed up his face in concentration....They were coming closer....He could see the dark holes beneath their hoods....yet he could also see Snape standing in front of him, his eyes fixed upon Harry's face, muttering under his breath....And somehow, Snape was growing clearer, and the dementors were growing fainter....
Harry raised his own wand.
"*Protego*!"
<<END PASSAGE>>

If it were the Pensieve, it would've made sense.  But these were "normal" memories inside Severus' head.

Actually, typing that passage gives me *another* question: What was Severus muttering under his breath during this time?  Do you have to mutter to do the spell?
