As naive as this may sound, maybe the thought hasn't crossed Harry's 
mind. He's an abused child. The Dursley's admitted in the first book 
that they did everything they could to squash the magic out of him. 
Some of the curiosity about his parents were squashed by Vernon and 
Petunia too, for example the irritated manner in which they *remind* 
Harry how he got his scar. If all his questions about his parents
were 
answered with an underlying hostility, Harry would learn not to ask 
any questions at all.
