Potioncat:
Well, if he also willed a dozen or so bottles of memory, it would be 
ok. The Pensieve itself is just a tool...although a very useful one. If 
someone could teach Harry how to use it, it would be great.

 It could be so much fun to see Harry thinking aloud, or even

Potioncat:
Am I the only one not looking forward to DD's portrait waking up? 
Meeting Portrait!Phineas Nigellus is one thing. We never knew the 
living Professor Black. Facing Portrait!DD is another. I think it'd be 
like calling the home of a deceased friend to speak some other family 
member and getting his voice on the answering machine. Not pleasant, I 
wouldn't think. I would assume to members of the WW it's no different 
than watching an old family movie, but that can be painful too.
