A pensieve musing

[heidi]

Is it possible that when you take a memory out and put it in a pensieve, then watch the memory, you're making the equivilent of a second generation videotape with that memory? Is that how Slughorn "pastede on" his edits to his memory of the talk with Tom?

It would make sense - otherwise, the whole idea of removing memories in a way that makes them no longer a part of your consciousness is a little troublesome.

(Yes, btw, I know I owe replies - when I'm next on my desktop. And tabi, call me?)
