I did some test on the thin client. I made some transactions on testnet, 
then I deleted the chain of headers (spvchain). 

Then connect the thin client to the full client again to re-download 
the spvchain. 


   1. the thin client connects and sends a bloom filter to the full client
   2. the full client use the filter to scan the whole blockchain
   3. if it finds a block that contains a transaction matched the filter, 
   it sends merkle block. Otherwise, it sends only the header 

So the thin client only stores the block headers and transactions related 
to its address.


Is it correct? or did I make a mistake somewhere?

Thanks,
