Yes, he did. (This was in response to post 80835 on Snape's memories.)
The answer I gave then still applies :

"In addition the contents of the Penseive 'swirl'. How does one stay 
on top to ensure certain disclosure of a specific memory?

Harry 'immerses' himself in the Pensieve, a bit more than skimming
the surface. No, I think which memory is accessed is a random event."


vmonte responds:

Unless the penseive's job is to give the person who uses it the 
information he/she seeks. Is it possible the penseive was trying to 
give Harry the information it thought Harry would need to make "the 
connections?"
