Is Dumbledore Swiping Harry's Memories?

After viewing SS last night, I began wondering about a point I'd seen
discussed here just a while back.   

In the hospital scene,  Dumbledore tells Harry that, since what
happened between Harry and Quirrell  was a complete secret, the entire
school knew about it.  But, how could everyone know about it?  Perhaps
legilimency, but this seems to produce only bits and pieces of a
particular scene, at best. Is it possible that Dumbledore made a point
of placing Harry's memories of that night into his pensieve while
Harry was unconscious, taking a look, and then put the memory back
before Harry awoke?

This leads to a similar point regarding what happened that night in
Godric's Hollow.  It seems logical that, needing to fill in the
blanks, Dumbledore may have instructed Hagrid to "collect" Harry's
memories of that night when he went to get Harry on Sirius' bike.  He
knew that Harry would never be able to recall the night  on his own
(he was far too young), but could count on Harry's  stored memories to
provide an accurate record of what occurred.  In addition, keeping
Harry's memories in his pensieve would ensure that Harry wouldn't have
to relive the murder of his parents  later on if some of these
memories ever did decide to "creep" back in to his consciousness.

Dumbledore's pensieve has come into play so many times before; it's
clear it is an instrument he relies upon to store memories for many
years to come (like his own memory of the prophecy).
