this is also the case in the memory of T. Riddle's diary in the CoS- we see Tom catching Hagrid- etc. and is also not in the first person POV

I am not acting like she's mistaken. I never said that at all. I am wondering about the pensieve. I was wondering the same sorts of things about the diary in CoS - about it's not acting much like a mere "memory" - and now that's been explained.
There are loads of little things one ignores as a sort of literary poetic license - like a world where bones can be regrown but people still have to wear glasses. Maybe the pensieve is one of them. But I like your notion that the magic of the pensieve is that it it able to sort of back out of the rememberer's POV and expand into the event. That would work.
