--Ronin's Comments--
I was thinking that the potion itself or one of it's side effects, was that
it caused the drinker to relive his/her own worst memories. More on the
lines of a magical drug, rather than the memories being in the basin like a
pensieve. 
Therefore, the memories are already inside the drinker's own mind and the
potion merely acts as a stimulant or a instigator of sorts.
I don't think that Voldemort would ever place his own memories out there in
the open for someone else to view, however bad they might be. He trusts
no-one and lets nobody know his true intentions. Even if he was 99% certain
that the drinker would die, I don't think he would share such an insight
into his psyche with anyone.
 
Cheers,
Ronin
