I have not always been a big fan of Harry Potter, I read the first 
book when I was asked by a teacher at my son's school to sign a form 
allowing her to read Harry Potter Year 1 to the class. I was kind of 
in shock that she would ask, so I read the first book just to see 
what the big fuss was about, hooked! I admit that I have taken the 
time over the course of two years, broke down each book, each 
chapter, each word. I have piles of Harry Potter information. I 
found this site at the Harry Potter Lexicon.

Now I do have a question, well two of them, the Pensieve, is one. Why would 
Dumbledore not give Harry a Pensieve to use before going to sleep. 
therefore emptying Harry's mind of all thought. Now I know it won't 
be as interesting as the book is already, but it would show 
Dumbledore making an effort to keep Voldemort out of Harry's head. 

Now, my second question is rather silly, but I still don't agree 
with what was said about it. I think that Harry should have seen the 
horses at the end of his fourth year, he was fully aware and 
understood that Cedric was dead. He had gone to the feast and 
understood that Cedric was dead when he saw the black in honor of 
Cedric. Someone who does not have an understanding that Cedric was 
dead would not have been so afflicted by the feast in itself.  any 
thoughts?
