Carol:
I'm not sure, but I think you have to be a skilled Occlumens like
Snape or DD to remove a thought from your own head to put it in the
pensieve. Remember Eloise Midgen blowing her nose off her face trying
to cure her acne? Think about the damage Harry could do to his mind
trying to remove a thought. Worse than an overdone memory charm, probably.

And I don't think you can remove a thought from someone else's head,
either. If it were that easy, the WW would probably use a Pensieve to
check the testimony of accused criminals. (They ought to use
veritaserum, but I don't want to get OT here.)
