Neri:
Don't have the books with me either, but I remember Harry recognizing 
the Pensieve in the first Occlumency lesson as DD's Pensieve. The 
Pensieve has symbols on it and is rather unique. Such objects in the 
WW are most certainly made to order, not mass production identical. 
We actually don't even have any indication that Pensieves other than 
that of DD's exist at all.
