I mean, memories do not have dates to them. The Tom Riddle/pineapple memory (if it is indeed a memory used as a "mix-up" and not something entirely made up) happened 50 years ago; the foggy memory could have happened any time.

If the boy Slughorn is shouting with is R.A.B. (more likely, because Regulus was in his house at Hogwarts and mixing the two scenarios would be plausible), that happened about 20 years ago. If the boy is ... Percy Weasly, or Draco Malfoy, or someone else in the present, the foggy memory most likely happened not many months ago."   <Snip a ton>
 
 
CH3ed: If I remember correctly Jo Rowling gave an interview (I think it's the one on July 16th) and clarified that penseives recreate the whole event of the memory as it happened (without the distortions of personal interpretations or biases) and even record details that one may not have noticed at the time. 
 
I really don't see anything in the memory Harry got from Slug after the burial that points to it being inaccurate (or less accurate than the obviously tampered one the DD got). Slug clearly distorted the original one because he was ashamed of being obviously partial to young LV and let slipped to LV a dangerous information that led to LV becoming, at the present, immortal. 

Also, what caused you to believe the first- years nicked Felix? beside that they may not like the way Ron treat them? I don't think they would even know what Felix is or does (different years take different lessons, don't they?... maybe except for when the fake Moody was showing off doing unforgivable curses).
 
CH3ed escaped Katrina and Rita but is now drowning in HP posts.... and FEMA is nowhere in sight!!
