Anyone think that Harry will start using the penseive for his own thoughts?

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.)

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. I didn't mean that Harry should 
remove thoughts from other peoples minds. I meant that Harry should 
remove his own memories and then view them through the penseive which 
appears to show memories from an objective view point. 

I remember writing a post (months ago) where I questioned the 
thoughts that Harry had viewed in the penseive. I tried to imply that 
Snape's memory, for example, of the time he was hung upside down by 
the James Potter's gang, might not have happened exactly as his 
memory recorded it.  I was trying to explain that memories are very 
subjective, and events are usually recorded in a non-objective way in 
which you are always the good guy. I hope I'm conveying this thought 
well. 

What I'm trying to say simply is that that particular event may have 
recorded differently in each person that was a participant in either 
Snape's humiliation, or was there watching the hanging event. 
(I'm not implying that Snape wasn't hung upside down. What I am 
saying is that our mind has a way of recording events and editing 
information, so that we always appear as righteous, the hero, the 
misunderstood rebel, the martyr, or whatever way our particular mind 
happens to work -- in other words, in a very non-objective way.)
 
Anyway, when I posted this thought, the consensous of the HPFGUs 
members was that I was wrong, and that the penseive always recorded 
memories objectively.
