I managed to dig out PoA.  And it seems like Harry
only hears what's going on. (Quotes will be from
American Version. My Brit version is on loan at the
moment...)

>From pg 179, Chapter Nine "Grim Defeat"

"And then he heard it again.... Domeone was screaming,
screaming inseide his head.... a woman
'Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!'
'Stand aside, you silly girl...stand aside, now....'
'Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead -'

Could the demetors be more like the Pensive and force
you to relive things surrounding your worst memory? I
ask that because later on, Harry hears his father, but
there's no indication of which room he's in (Pg 240 -
'Lily take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold
him off-' 
The sounds of someone stumbling from a room - a door
bursting open - a cackle of high-pitched laughter-) as
we don't know if it's Lily stumbling across the room
to get to Harry's room or if it's James crossing the
room to confront Moldy Voldy. 

It would seem to me that if Harry had actually seen
what happened as a child - would he see it when the
Demetors were near?  I forget which character said it,
but they said a Demetor makes you *relive* your worst
memory. (Please correct me if I'm misremembering...
I've skimmed my book and can't find the quote I'm
looking for...)

Thoughts?
