This is an idea, but I also cannot believe, that once, in the photo album, there isn't a celebration picture, or a graduation pic (I know, I know, it's not graduation!) or something with the house logo on it (like we do for National Honor Society over here?) to let Harry know.  Perhaps that's the reason he knows, and we readers haven't learned.

  They may have, like so many of us, simply assumed they knew. Or one or both may,
  in fact, know, and the information has not yet been passed on to us, the
  readers. A bombshell isn't always a bombshell to the characters involved, but it
  always is to the readers.

  I always get the feeling that Harry holds his mental construct of his parents
  delicately, like a piece of jewelry one treasures and doesn't wear so it won't
  get hurt. And he's still adjusting to the parts he *does* know. He still has
  only known the truth about them for four years, and it's been a pretty busy four
  years, and the only time he's not busy is when he's at the Dursleys', when
  investigation is pretty much out of the question. Nor has he had a lot of
  quality time with the best source for most of this sort of intimate information,
  Sirius. I'm betting this kind of thing will be a lot more developed in the later
  books.
