We also learned a possibly important lesson in this book - memories 
can be contained, and stored indefinitely, to be perused later, even 
after the person they belong to is gone.  As much a fan as 
Dumbledore was of using the Pensieve, I wouldn't be surprised if, 
in the case that there was indeed an agreement between himself and 
Snape, there is a vial he left tucked away somewhere.  After all 
their "lessons" this year, Harry would surely recognize it for what 
it is (a memory) if he sees it.
