I guess Harry follows the "what you don't know won't hurt you" 
sentiment. Even the photo album Hagrid gave him in SS/PS, Harry didn't 
pick it up again until PoA. It makes me wonder why Harry shows an 
extreme lack of curiosity about his parents. 

If I were told that my parents were magical and that I, as an infant, 
took down the world's greatest villian, I would be very curious about 
it all.
