Much has been made about whether or not Snape's memory in the Penseive is 
slanted.  I'm wondering if a stored memory really takes the person's point of 
view or if it is omniscient.  I mean, if it is limited to the person's point of 
view, then how would we even hear the conversation between James and Sirius?  
How would we see what is being doodled on the note pad?  

If a memory someohow becomes truthfully omniscient when put into the Pensieve 
then that makes the Pensieve quite a more valuable tool.  If, however, it 
reflects only what the memory holder has imagined in order to fill in the gaps, 
it becomes very suspect indeed.
