Me:  I thought Harry knew before OOTP, but the rest of the crew found 
out at Mungo's.  I kind of remember Harry feeling bad for Neville in GOF 
and realizing that it was bad enough not to have your parents living, 
but even worse to have your parents living, but not know who you are.  I 
just reread OOTP over the summer and I'm almost positive after the group 
that goes to visit Mr. Weasley at Mungo's finds Neville and Gran 
visiting his parents, that Harry has already known about what happened 
to Neville's parents.  I thought DD told him after Harry comes out of 
the Pensieve after seeing Barty Jr. being sentenced to Azkaban.

Well, I could talk in circles all night (I have a tendency to do that), 
but I'll stop, because you guys probably have better posts to read and 
my memory could be failing me on this one.
