Tonks:
Like Lee said Harry was too young to remember his parents. I suspect 
that he might feel the loss on his birthday and at other times when he 
sees how other children are treated by parents that love them. But it 
would not be a memory of his parents, just feeling that he is missing 
something that others have.
