Eddie:
Interesting thought.  The problem I have with this is that it would
just make him too omniscient to be allowed (to borrow a phrase).  He
would be able to pensieve-dive into all those memories he seems to
have access to and know what just about everybody was thinking and/or
concealing: Tom Riddle as boy, young man working for B&B, as a
job-seeker for DADA; At the Death Eater trials; and, as you say, with
the Gaunts.

Following your hypothesis, I suppose pensieve!Voldemort would still be
a powerfully gifted occlumens, but more powerful than a real life
Dumbledore who could try again and again and again at his leisure?

Like I said, interesting thought.  But I'd need more persuading.
