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?
