Dumbledore placed his long hands
on either side of the Pensieve and swirled it, rather as a gold 
prospector would pan for fragments of gold.... and Harry saw his own 
face change smoothly into Snape's, who opened his mouth and spoke to 
the ceiling, his voice echoing slightly.
"It's coming back . . . Karkaroff's too . . . stronger and clearer 
than ever..."
"A connection I could have made without assistance," Dumbledore 
sighed, "but never mind."

What I found interesting about this bit of info is what DD says, not 
how Snape reports info.
It's almost as if DD is saying, "Yeah, thanks for telling me the 
obvious, Snape."  Maybe, Snape is giving DD useless information. I 
also wonder why DD placed this insignificant memory in the penseive 
to study.  If the information Snape was giving him was useless, why 
place it in the penseive?  Is he studying the information, or Snape?

This just really leads me to believe that the penseive will come back 
in book 6 and 7.  If DD knows/suspects that he will die, he may leave 
behind a bowl full of memories for one of the children.
