Eustace_Scrubb:
No need to ask for forgiveness on this.  Searching all of the threads
(or even all threads since the HBP covers were released) is a task too
 daunting for even Tri-Wizard champions.

Eustace_Scrubb:
Well, I suppose that since DD is looking at the pensieve (or is it the
Pillar of Storge?) with Harry that it's Dumbledore's.

I have wondered whether there is only one pensieve in the Wizarding
World.  Harry at least believes the one in Snape's office is the same
one he'd seen in Dumbledore's office in GOF.

But surely there are others who need to empty some thoughts from their
minds from time to time, either to clear the mind or to examine some
thoughts more carefully in the pensieve.  I've thought Nicolas and
Perenelle Flamel would have found such a device most useful, given
that they had over 6 centuries of thoughts and memories to deal with.
They might have needed several!

Cheers,
