Thanks, Jen, for your brave and generous posting - it gave me a lot to think 
about (hence late reply) and, yes, it *does* make Harry's apparent lack of 
curiousity easier to understand, so I don't think it was OT.  I hope you do 
some day talk to people who knew your mother - you could give them some 
warning and ask if they mind.  I bet they'd be glad to, but had similar 
worries about causing pain to you.
