Carol responds:
I think I know the memory you're referring to--it's in the same clump
of memories as Cedric's death. I saw it as referring to his recent
encounter with a dragon in the TWT. Any reason why you see it
differently? (I also saw no reason to think that he had "forgotten"
any of the memories that were revealed in the Occlumency lessons. None
of them occurred before he was about five years old and most related
to the Dursleys.) Can you explain your thinking for me?

Thanks,
Carol
