Potioncat:
I took, from the very first time I read it, to be an assumption on 
Harry's part that it was DD's Pensieve.  Do we know if it was ever 
confirmed. I will admit that I am also assuming.  What do the rest 
of you think?  Is this DD's or Snape's?

I also thought that one of the Portraits made the comment that if 
Harry was in DD's office, that DD must be back.  That  made me think 
that no one but DD had access to the office.
