Tanya again.

Yes, it is interesting.  I feel that Dumbledore was probably there, hence 
Snape looking at the ceiling.  But maybe they made it look like Dumbledore 
had been there, but had left.  Also it would not of been likely to have 
been reported in Dumbledore's office, LV would know what that looked 
like.  That's all I can think of just now.  Unless possibly, Dumbledore and 
Snape have this arrangement that Snape talks alone to himself for real, and 
places the memory in the pensieve and then Dumbledore takes it as one of 
his memories.  Is that what you meant?
