Alla earlier: 
By the way, now I am  not even sure that Pensieve was 
Dumbledore's. I  think Vmonte made VERY good point.
Dumbledore WOULD have tell Snape that Harry may want to take a 
look  in it. 
If Dumbledore indeed did so, it makes me wonder of Snape 
intentions  again.

Potioncat:
It seems to me, that in an earlier discussion a poster quoted a 
section from one of the later chapters that did seem to confirm the 
Pensieve is DD's.  I had been one of the strongest proponents of its 
being Snape's personal Pensieve.
 
But, in any case, given how stingy DD is with information, I don't 
know that he would tell Snape about the incident where Harry dove 
into his Pensieve. And as we don't know, we can't (or shouldn't) 
judge Snape's behavior relative to the knowledge....I think I just 
tied my fingers into knots.


Alla:

I did not mean it in a sense that Dumbledore would tell Snape about 
the incident simply for the sake of telling about it.

I would think Dumbledore may tell specifically for the sake of 
WARNING Snape to be careful, you know, since the stakes are that 
high that Harry can be too curious and it is better ... you know to 
be a responsible adult  and not to provoke his curiousity, knowing 
that he was so desperately seeking answers all year.

But maybe you are right and Dumbledore was keeping it a secret.


JMO,

Alla
