Potioncat:
I'll agree with Sigune here, you do have an interesting way of 
looking at things and it's always a good idea to think out of the 
trunk where JKR is concerned.

Let's go back a little: Harry was remembering the  dementers at the 
lake (I wonder what Snape thought about that one?) then Harry did the 
Protego charm, Snape's wand flew out of his hand and Harry was inside 
Snape's thoughts. He saw the yelling man, the teen zapping flies and 
the bucking broom. Then ENOUGH and Harry felt as if he was pushed in 
the chest and he hit a shelf hard enough to break a jar. Snape 
reparo's the jar. (Is this all wandless magic?)

I wonder if the dementers that Snape was seeing in Harry's mind, 
brought these thoughts up in his?  Or if being bested by Harry this 
time, brought up these memories?  The ones we see in Harry's mind 
usually seem pretty random.

The next set to come up in Harry's mind is at the MoM again.

I know what you mean about seeing the person Snape in Snape's 
memory.   But it is also that way in DD's pensieve, we (Harry) come 
in beside DD, not as DD.
