They don't even really have memories of their previous life - it's more like they know those things happened, but in the same way you and I could learn about an historical figure by reading through their personal diaries, rather than feeling those memories to be our own.

Hope, instead, has retained "more" of Pandora, and so she feels as if Pandora's memories are her own... which will likely make her feel guilty for all the **** Pandora did for no other reason than **** 'n giggles, unlike other Immortal who would feel that they aren't accountable for the actions of their previous incarnations.
Yeah, but it's weird she remembers Pandora marking Justin, guilty or otherwise.

We know immortals have limited ability to pass on information to their successors, and I doubt trying to pass on actual memories rather than dry information allows more total info to be passed on, especially since the Will of Magic said she would have forgotten much. Plus, even in her most lucid ("sane") aspect, Pandora really only cared about her family - apparently including godchildren/etc like Tedd, although she was iffy on Noah until Raven's word punch forced her to think about him properly - and a few others who were nice to her or particularly impressed her (ergo, she pretty much topped out at neutral & went south fast the less lucid she was). So why include marking Justin in the infodump at all?
