Bothered by the Pensive scene in OOP

Hi All:

Snape, in OoP American Edition, tells Harry:

"Only Muggles talk of 'mind reading.'  The mind is not a book, to be opened
at will and examined at leisure.  Thoughts are not etched on the inside of
skulls, to be perused by any invader" (OoP, Am. Ed., 530).

Does anyone else find this doesn't jibe with the fact that wizards seem to
be able to pull out of their brain a fully intact memory that can be
deposited into the Pensive?
