SSSusan:
I like this possibility, Meltowne -- that DD is either showing Harry 
how to access his own memory *or* that DD "extracted" the memory 
from Harry when he was a baby and stored it himself and is now going 
to show it to him.  Granted, Harry still has auditory memory of the 
attack, but nothing visual.  Maybe DD took it out & stored it so 
Harry wouldn't have to grow up replaying it??

Several listees have suggested that the (potential) Pensieve on the 
US cover isn't quite the correct size or shape as the Pensieve we've 
seen/had described previously.  Might I suggest it's just a little 
artistic license in action? :-)
