I have a question.  I have wondered if the Penseive records events like a 
camera, or if the images are filtered thru the point of view of the memory's 
owner?  For example, was James REALLY as bad as he seemed, or was that just 
Snape's feelings seeing James?  Was Harry seeing his father the way he really acted, 
or was he only seeing Snape's point of view?  (Not that I think that seeing 
the scene thru Snape's eyes is a bad thing, it's always good to try to figure 
out WHY someone acts the way they do!)
