rowena_grunnioffitch:
Excuse me? Slughorn's attempt at falsification shows how impossible
undetectable editing is and exactly how much control did a dying Snape
have? Personally I think he gave Harry a little more than he meant to.
Just as well he didn't survive, he'd have died of the humiliation of
Harry knowing all. Besides, the fact that pensieve scenes are *NOT*
from the subject's pov suggests a degree of objectivity.
