Harry seems to be so fixated on his father I have trouble believing 
he would miss something like that. I sincerely hope that JKR wouldn't 
do this, it would be a rather horrible trick and the set up is so 
flimsy that I don't think I could ever forgive her.

Jens you are INsatiable! :D
I beg to differ that it stands as a nasty trick. Perhaps the 
censorship of those details is what written in by Snape. Harry is in 
*his* pensieve and so to some degree he may hold some power over what 
the beholder can focus on and what is fuzzed into the background. Or 
it, even, may be that Snape felt so strongly about this particular 
day that his memory drew in some mysterious way all focus to his 
suffering.
Maybe I should investigate the other pensieve before continuing on 
this tack, however.
In terms of something that others have been putting forward, I agree 
that this maybe the day Snape was saved by James from the werewolf. 
There is some evidence that Lupin was soon to change. Though of 
course Sirius does say "I wish it was full moon", so perhaps it 
doesn't hold at all. If, however, by some twist it did happen on that 
day, that is likely to be the reason that Snape put the memory in the 
pensieve. I am sure Severus would not want Harry to see his father 
saving his life, he thinks Harry is already arrogant. 
Still, now that I've written it, I see the weaker points and I don't 
suppose there is much argument for it.

Valky very pleased with the mutually respectful outcome of this 
debate. :D
