se the Thestrals at the end of GOF.)  I think he's going to have to 
attain that memory from the other person who *was* at Goderic's 
Hollow that night.  Snape possibly?

Saraquel:
I'll just have to slip this one in quick as it's an illegal over the 
limit post -

No, the jury is still out for me on this one Cathy - you could argue 
that Snape did not see James and Sirius in the exam room as he was 
busy writing til the end, but there they were in the pensieve 
memory.  Even though little Harry didn't see/understand his parent's 
death, he was present at the time and the pensieve could re-create 
the whole scene for him.  Admitedly he will have to find someone to 
show him how to extract his memory, but Slughorn could do that.

Also, how is Harry going to find out that Snape was at GH? Will he 
find a pair of grey underpants in the wreckage, perhaps? :-)
