Dana:
> I do not agree that even though she herself cannot remember it 
consciously that this would mean the memory would not be there.  We 
have seen in the several pensieve scenes that a memory can be looked 
at from a perspective that the owner of that memory would not have 
been aware of at the time the memory registered in the mind. Her mere 
presence in the room would make it possible to look at the scene from 
a third person's view and hear her tell DD the prophecy.

Ceridwen:
We have no canon on how memories might work in this sort of 
circumstance, but I think so, too.  Since Trelawney's brain and body, 
if not her mind, were still in the room, it's possible that she could 
have a memory that LV could watch in a Pensieve.

Imagine the implications!  He would see *everything*, from the 
interview with Dumbledore, to the prophecy, to Snape's arrival *after 
the prophecy*.  Not quite the way it was explained to LV.  Snape only 
supposedly overheard the first part and was thrown out before it 
ended.
