Tonks:

Well we are back to *there is something about DD*.  He knows all, 
sees all, etc???  Or how about this wild idea: We could say that 
when Harry was taken somewhere for that mysterious 24 hours that 
maybe there is some way to take a memory from a baby and put it in a 
pensive that the child can look at later when he is old enough to 
understand what it all means.  And this is what happened, with some 
strands of it still left which cause Harry to have the nightmares 
from time to time. (Maybe some of the strand has to stay in the mind 
so that the memory has something to attach to when it is put back 
in.) The memory was taken out, put in DD's pensive and examined.  
That is how DD knows. (Only a very skilled Wizard like DD can do 
this with a baby, it is not common place.) Also since DD wanted 
Harry to grow up not knowing that he was special he did not want to 
keep the memory in Harry's head.  In book 6 Harry with DD's help 
will look at the memory of that night at GH and DD will help Harry 
process it and put it back in his head.  Maybe this even in some way 
is important to the defeating of LV.  Maybe having the memory out of 
Harry helped him to survive and to kept LV from regaining his powers 
earlier.

Hey, a shot in the dark sometimes hits the mark, it is an off the 
wall idea, but you never know
