Arya now: I think the Sorting Hat is already a tool that does just 
this and could likely, IMHO, be used further by someone who is 
inquisitively inclined in regards to the time of the Founders. I tend 
to disagree that JKR needed to create a new plot device to
give forth information on the Founders but I do agree the brain and 
it's "scarring thoughts" are most likely a plot device to be used.

vmonte responds:
Yes, the Sorting Hat could be used for information, but it's not 
uncommon for JKR to bring in devices that give information about the 
past. She also used Tom Riddle's diary in this manner (even though 
the diary did not give the whole truth about the past).

What if the brain belongs to the half-blood prince? Could it be 
Godric Gryffindor's (the man later known as Nicolas Flamel)?   

Sorry, I couldn't help myself there.

Thanks for your imput.
