JKR on the pensieve

I found it very interesting when JKR was asked about the memories in 
the pensieve, she said that when one enters the pensieve they can move 
around the memory and make their own conclusions.  The memory contains 
everything that happened not just the interpretation from the person 
who gave the memory.  

Harry will learn to use DD's pensieve in the next book.  There is so 
much to be learned there.  He may view the memory that made DD trust 
Snape.  He will experience it as one who hates Snape and will see what 
his heart wants him to see.  Then he will revisit it trying to 
discover where DD went wrong and may come to a completely different 
conclusion in the end.  

Harry has a memory of the night his parents were killed and he will 
use the pensieve to view it as a man instead of as a baby.  Maybe this 
is when he realizes that Hagrid took him to Spinners End and Snape hid 
him while DD made arrangements for Harry to go to the Dursley's.
