Heather says:

That could certainly explain some of the missing hours between GH 
being 'blown up' and Hagrid's arrival at the Dursley's.  I think 
this is a very good theory.

Heather Again:

Except that Harry does have some of the memories as we saw in POA 
with the Dementors.  What if the memories in the pensieve 
are "copies" of (files) rather than actually removed (from one drive 
to another).  AFter all, DD does seem to have a very good 
recollection in his head of all those memories Harry saw in the 
pensieve.  But then again... why would Snape use the pensieve to 
hide his memories from Harry in that case  :(  Oh well, just a 
theory.
