Here I'm again (Izaskun)
Well, could be, but i don't think so. THe memories are sort of stored in the
pensieve. If Harry uses it to store his own memories I suppose there could
be some problems, but if he just uses it as he used it in GoF, to enter
Dumbledore's memories... there shouldn't be any, I guess. And it would be a
good tool to profit from DD's kwnoledge without having him around as a
ghost, a shadow, or an "entity". I don't think I'd be able to stand a sort
of Obi Wan's -Luke relationship with all the "harry remember the force"
stuff around.
