That's from Order of the Phoenix, when Harry tells Dumbledore about
his dream of attacking Mr. Weasley. Wasn't a pensive; Harry is shown
wondering what it is and what it means. Myself, I'm inclined to the
interpretation offered in "Looking for God in Harry Potter": Basically
that the serpent is confirming Harry's story, but when dividing it
shows that there is a difference between Voldemort's intentions and
Harry's intentions in the matter. After all, we do know that V was, in
one manner or another, influencing Harry's mind throughout the book.
