But it's also the one question of the three that isn't acertainty to be
answered in HBP.


Jaanis:

Caesian, this would be the same explanation why I voted for the 3rd answer
too. The first two questions will be answered by the 6th book, and I am not
even sure I would like to know these facts before I read it.

Of course, you may hope that Rowling would tell more about Occlumency if we
chose the first question, but that really depends on her. As Tammy said, the
question is about wether Harry will study it, not about Occlumency itself,
although Rowling some times has given more detailed explanations that might
have been expected. And I'm not such a big fan of Snape either to get
excited about a question that involves him. :P

What else interested me was the second question "Is that the Pensieve on the
U.S. cover, or something else?" Maybe I don't fully get it, as I'm not
English, but cannot we perceive from the question that Rowling thinks that
among those who believe it's really a Pensieve, there are really no doubts
about _whose_ (which) Pensieve it is? Like she is talking about one
particular Pensieve.

So, have we (the readers) really seen only one Pensieve in the books? Then,
is Snape using Dumbledore's Pensieve in OotP? Or maybe there are only a few
Pensieves in the WW at all, or maybe only one - this one?
