 Regarding the use of "Worst Memory", another possibility is that 
it'sHARRY's assumption since everything in the series is 
writtenabsolutley and utterly from HIS POV (well, except "The Riddle 
House").My question about those three memories is-who really chose 
them?Snape, or Dumbledore? It IS Dumbledore's Pensieve, and it 
wasDumbledorre's decision for Harry to learn Occlumency. it seems to 
menot unlikely that the Headmaster might have been the ultimate 
arbitor.Kat/rxk.

Potioncat:
As it is from Harry's assumption...the Pensieve may not be DD's.  It 
could be Snape's.

We saw Snape put the memories in the Pensieve and even if it was 
DD's Pensieve, he would have taken his memories out.  I don't think 
DD would have said, take these three thoughts out of your head** and 
put them out for Harry to find.

**although now that I think of it: I once suggested a conversation 
where Snape said "I can't teach Potter Occlumency given my memories 
of his father." and DD answering, "Here, put those thoughts out of 
your head."  (lol)
