Hi there, Ceridwen,
I am not arguing with you about this but I just can't imagine why DD 
wouldn't have wanted to go into Harry's memory and retrieve anything 
that might have been there from that night at Godric's Hollow. Are 
you saying that now that Harry has had the experiences of seeing 
others' memories in the pensieve, that he'll somehow find a way to 
go back into his own?
