Hi Cat,
You know, someone else maybe you, pointed out that a wizard's brain 
may not work like a muggle's so maybe there is a memory in Harry's 
brain that can be extracted. I just have to wonder if there were any 
chance that Harry might have had more memory in there, wouldn't DD 
have tried to access it? I mean, he certainly worked with many other 
people to collect information about LV using their memories, many of 
which were incomplete, tampered with, but that didn't stop him. But 
I won't discount anything, this is just a feeling, a hunch.
