Please excuse me if this is not expressed particularly clearly,as I

that *all* our memories are stored not as if we were looking at them
through our eyes, but rather as if we were watching a film with
ourselves as the central star.

It makes me wonder what Harry would see if he put one of his own memories in a Pensieve and then fell into the Pensieve.  So far, we have only seen Harry experience the memories of others (Snape and Dumbledore).  Naturally, he sees these memories through his own eyes.

Taryn:
But we have also seen Dumbledore and Snape enter into the Pensieve memories that Harry's watching, and they have both appeared as their own, current persona, separate of the memory of themselves. I think it would be logical to conclude Harry would appear as himself and watch his past memory self in a Pensieve memory of his own.
