the best theory I've heard about the use of a pensieve is that it doesn't make he user forget the memory, but it takes away the emotional impact. Dumbledore probably strongly suggested it because it wasn't a great idea to have a man with anger issues and revenge fantasies pointing a wand at and picking through the mind of Harry.
