Don't worry about it.  And you certainly don't have to memorize canon-
-that's what the books and this list are for! :)
And I'm sorry if my post to you sounded a bit impatient.  I certainly 
didn't mean it to; I was just in a hurry to get to class, and I 
didn't see the need to say anything more than to direct you to my 
previous post if you hadn't read it.

That sounds pretty interesting.  I wonder who would have raised their 
child, since they obviously couldn't do it themselves.  Maybe some 
other relative?  Actually, maybe the child has a different last name 
(perhaps having been adopted by someone else) and is already at 
Hogwarts.  Oh, the possibilities.  Millicent Bulstrode, anyone?  Or 
the infamous (on this list, anyway) Blaise Zabini?  Not that the 
child necessarily has to be a Slytherin at all...

Anyway, I do think that we'll hear more about the Lestranges in 
future books.  If in fact the people in the Pensieve were Mr. and 
Mrs. Lestrange, that means that we've seen or heard of them twice 
now.  That makes it probable that they'll be mentioned again.
