  Well...can you just DO that to students? IIRC (and it's not movie poisoning), you can't use Veritaserum on a student. I think the Pensieve is the same idea. It's a complete and total violation of the students' right. I may be biased because I am currently a college student and I'm sick and tired of everyone assuming that I have no rights (sorry...tangent lol). The first course of action should've been to *question* both of them. If this did not produce sufficient results, they could *ask* the students to put the memory in a Pensieve! I do not like the idea of just immediately removing all the rights of the students before questioning is even attempted...

  In a situation like this, I think it goes above an ordinary situation where the students "privacy" rights are in effect.  You have a student on the floor ripped apart and bleeding to death.  Any normal person walking in on that is not going to be worrying about a students privacy.. LOL  They are going to want to know what  just happened.  And will use any means possible to find out.

  I also think that on an ordinary level you shouldn't use veritaserum, but this again is not an ordinary situation.  This is a life threatening, somone is going to die situation.

  Of course I agree that you should have a "questioning" period.  And I am sure that Harry would have had no problem with that.  I also think that if asked Harry would have given his thoughts over as well.  But would Draco?  Not hardly.  He would stand the risk of them finding out his plan.
