Howdy all. All the reminicense done over Thanksgiving family 
functions got me wondering... When a person extracts a memory to put 
away is extracted memory that the only copy of that memory? Nothing 
more of the event is left in the person's head? 

It seems to me that Snape put his worst memory away in the penseive 
when he was teaching Harry occlumency to prevent Harry from being 
able to see it if an accident like the "protego" incident where 
Snape's ligilimen rebounded on himself recurs. So that supports 'no 
original copy left in the head' theory. 

But then Slug retained the true memory about his horcrux chat with 
young LV even though he had already gave DD an altered one. Also 
we've seen that obliviated memory can be recovered (LV did that with 
Bertha Jorkins), but then obliviate charm's mechanics is probably 
different from using the wand to extract memory to put in a 
penseive. Any thoughts? :O)

CH3ed likes to keep his memories in his head.
