Bertha's shadow came out of Voldemort's wand during the duel between Voldemort and Harry on the graveyard in Little Hangleton and helped Harry to escape.
Bertha Jorkins was at Hogwarts the same time as James Potter and company.

 HPL: Bertha Jorkins
Bertha was a gossip and didn't seem to have a lot of social skills -- once she spotted someone "kissing Florence behind the greenhouses" and didn't have the sense just to ignore it, which resulted in that person casting a hex on her.
The magic Voldemort used to extract this information from Bertha was so powerful and invasive that she was left "damaged," so he killed her.
Bertha knew what was going on and who Harry was, and she urged him not to let go of the wand.

 MuggleNet | The North Tower #17 - The Pensieve (1) - By Maline Fredén.
Number one suggests that the memory of Bertha isn't as important as that of Trelawney and that her message isn't a vital one - the importance of the scene is elsewhere - whereas the memory of Trelawney's first prophecy is top-secret information (to say the least, it's the hidden treasure of Book 5).
The memory of Bertha is painful because (I think) she was one he couldn't save and there is a parallel between her and Harry because they're both very curious and not very cautious (indeed, the cautious part of Harry is basically called Hermione; she's the one that stands for most rational thinking).
Dumbledore doesn't explain anything further about Bertha Jorkins, and Harry doesn't seem to grasp the fact that Dumbledore seems to know that she's been captured by Voldemort (he couldn't remember her name from his dream).

I thought Dumbly was just sadly pondering that old event and Bertha's recent disappearance at the same time, because they both had to do with her inherant curiosity and COMPLETE lack of self-preservation.
Sirius tells Harry that he knew Bertha Jorkins while he was at Hogwarts, and that she was a few years above them and Snape.
I think the whole Bertha scene in the pensieve was to show she had a tendency to stick her nose where it didn't belong.

I dont think who "he" is really matters, he was just showing them how he knew Bertha when she was at school.
Anyway, it seems to refer to the boy Bertha followed, and sets up the character as someone who was too curious for her own good, and just the sort of person to follow Peter.
I believe that Sirius mentions knowing of Bertha, so presumably Peter knew her and her reputation as a gossip/nosey/whatever and saw her as a potential resource.

 Chamber of Secrets - How did Voldemort get his wand back?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Bertha was killed before Voldy and Peter left the Albanian forest.
Perhaps he simply used a wand [taken from Bertha Jorkins possibly?] and used the accio charm to call his wand to him from wherever it was.
But that wand killed Frank Bryce, Bertha Jorkins, and Cedric Diggory, so he had to have regained the wand sometime before or at the time of when Wormtail arrived.

Voldemort then says in Chapter The Death Eaters: "Wormtail overpowered her [Bertha Jorkins] and brought her to me.....But the means I used to break the Memory Charm upon her were powerful, and when I had extracted all useful information, her mind and body were beyond repair."

 Overanalyzing the Text: HPfGU#52640: Hermione, Knowledge and Blackmail
My own instinctive reading of this line was that Bertha Jorkins had attempted to flmail Crouch, a reading which also led me to suspect that she had been planning something very similar when she agreed to go for that pleasant evening stroll with Peter Pettigrew in Albania.
It was only later that I learned that most people had not read the line in at all the same way.
But whether or not we are meant to read a flmail attempt in the above phrasing, the fate of the unfortunate Jorkins certainly does seem to me to touch upon the particular dangers inherent in conflating knowledge or information about others with power over them.

 SparkNotes: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Chapters Thirty-three–Thirty-four
Voldemort was alone and weak when his servant Wormtail returned to him, bringing with him Bertha Jorkins, who informed him of a faithful Death Eater who would be able to help him.
He killed her, and with Wormtail's help he used her information to find the faithful servant, and ultimately to bring Harry Potter to him to ensure his rebirth-he adds that Harry's blood was more potent than any blood, since Harry's mother's protection could now reside in Voldemort's veins.
Hearing about what happened to Voldemort after his curse backfired, how he used and killed Bertha Jorkins, how he finally managed to return to his body and summon his followers, and what he would do next, places Harry in an insider position that no other person has.

Bertha Jorkins was the biggest gossip in the entire school, a distinction that had won her very few friends and lost her the few she'd had.
It was little wonder that she'd been willing to go with Peter; he'd thought that the only way anyone would willingly seek out Bertha's company would be under pain of death, or at least detention.
Well, at least she was a fairly pretty girl, with lots of curly blond ringlets, green eyes, and a nice smile (when she could keep her mouth shut long enough to form one).

Once Bertha Jorkins spilled the beans, though, all hell broke loose.
The revelation that Sirius and Florence had been conducting a clandestine relationship sat well with neither Florence's Slytherin companions (half of whom had the hots for her themselves) nor with Sirius' friends.

Yes, it is true that Voldemort was able to break the memory charm on Bertha Jorkins, but he also said that in doing so he dammaged her body and spirit beyond repair.
I think that Voldie is a VERY powerful wizard..so that is why he could recover Bertha Jorkins memory..and Lockhart said he was especially good at memory charms..and with a damaged wand...who knows??
Didnt Voldemort say that memory charms can be broken by a powerful wizard, not that there is a spell to break it.
