sorry for the late reply :( time is not in abundance
thanks for the applied headcanon - and it really works since it has a little bit of applied science in it- we see far more than we realize (thats why vids of daily normal lives can be amazing- not the ups something went wrong but just the normal lives)
and i'm sure there would have been a better option to it all- when i think of legillimence i think of it like opening a book- so maybe that will help you- like those 3d books? that the spell makes the caster step into the memory and is therefore able to look around- because he is not the one experiencing it, but he is viewing it- like calling it to the front and while the one being read upon is experiencing the memory, the caster himself only sees it from the outside- because the one being cast upon is STILL there- so where would he go if not back into his memory for real; and then my head canon and because i could not make sense of it all, the caster can read the emotions because of the spell, thats why its such an evasive spell- it showes the feelings too...
as for canon: it depends what you view as canon: for me canon ends with the books and the movies, but that might be because i come originally from japanese fandoms and they play by different rules- to me the whole pottermore thing and everything else is FAN-WORK by jkr, as for research- i'm doing a thing were wandlore is incredible important, but i'm not turning to her opinions on that - because its not really in the books, besides the few statements of olivander and mr lovegood, but on the celtic myths about threes so i too can live with fics being researched in different ways- as long as the story's inner logic is working its working for me but that might be just me :D
