Dumbledore's Pensive

Hey all!

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I don't tend to 
lurk in this group that often, never mind post anything. (I hide out 
in HPFG-OT, POU, and the like.)

But, I've got a question that you folks could probably help me with:

I'm re-listening to GoF (got a long commute to and from work), and 
I've just heard the whole 'Harry and the Pensive' section, and it 
occured to me, that perhaps Dumbledore left the door to the cabinet 
partially opened hoping that Harry would find the Pensive and 'fall 
into it'.  Somehow, I get the feeling that he(DD) meant for Harry to 
find out about Crouch Jr., and Bagman and Snape, and for that matter, 
what happened to the Longbottoms.  This obviously fuels Harrys' anger 
towards Lord Voldie.  I know that DD told Harry that he was using the 
Pensive just before Snape and Mad-Eye and (was it Fudge?) came in, 
but I think that DD knew that Harry was on his way as well, or at 
least was hopeful.

But I'm still lost at the whole "twinkle in DD's eye" after Harry 
finishes the third task. (I haven't gotten to that part yet on the 
cd, this time 'round.)  I know that there have been some theories 
tossed around about DD, and where his loyalties really lie, but I 
just haven't figured it out yet.

If this has been discussed, can anyone cast a Four-point spell on me 
and send me in the right direction?  If not, what do all you experts 
think?
