Paul chiming in:

Just a thought....

Perhaps baby Harry had a memory extracted by some one...DD perhaps,
that was viewed in a pensieve,(does DD have the only pensieve, or are
there more of them around, in the MoM, perhaps) to ascertain exactly
what happened at the Potter's residence in Godric's Hollow. Maybe
that's why Harry has no clear memory of the incedent, only broken
fragments of the memory. Because it's(the memory) not all there.
Witness the removed and/or modified memories of Slughorn, Morphin,
and Hepzibah's house elf. Maybe there is a memory ( of Harry's ) in
DD's office in a bottle that we don't know about.

Just a thought.
