I absolutely agree with you both. If only we knew wether the 
pensieve recorded objectively or subjectively. 

I myself, was actively involved in a debate on this topic some time 
ago, here, and despite my argument for the possibility of subjective 
memory, or more specifically, more than a visual recording but also 
an emotional recording existing within the pensieve, I yet am unsure 
which possibility is most likely. 

Perhaps we should make a point of recording this as a planned 
question for Jo at such time as she is available to answer it for 
us. That is of course providing she already hasn't, in which case 
anybody who can tell me she has please intervene and direct me to 
the place that I can read her answer.

Best to all
