If you remove a memory and put it into a Pensieve, afterwards you 
shouldn't be able to know what that memory was about until you 
either look into the pensieve or put the memory back into your 
head.  Otherwise what's the point in Snape taking out his worst 
memory if he could still remember what it was about.  That means 
when Snape grabbed Harry and threw him out of his office, Snape 
didn't know what the memory was of, just that he didn't want Harry 
to see it.  That also means that when Snape puts the his worst 
memory back into his head, it would almost be like reliving it for 
the first time.  That would really suck to have to relive your worst 
memory once a week for a kid you despise.  I don't think I've felt 
more sorry for Snape if this is the case.

This also means that when DD uses the pensieve with Harry that DD 
was just making a copy of his memory because he knew what was 
happening in the pensieve.  

So I guess this means you can either copy a memory and put it into a 
pensieve or you can put the whole memory in one.

Can person A put person B's memory from a pensieve into his own head?

If this doesn't make any sense it's because I'm up way too late.
