Hey everyone. I stopped by because this has driven me up the wall 
*all day long*. Here's the sit: 

I was in class and was talking to my friends Steven and Anne. Steven 
was reading CoS and somehow, we got on the topic of Nearly-Headless-
Nick and his Deathday. Then, to make a long story short, we got to 
the point on whether or not Harry knows when his parents died. 

Pro:
Anne says that he knows when his parents died since we know. We see 
everything from his point of view. So, everything we know, Harry 
knows too. 

Con:
However, Steven and I think that he doesn't know. In all the books, 
he sure seems to have a lot of fun to say that he knows that was the 
day his life was changed forever. He goes to a Deathday Party, a 
banquet every Halloween, I could go on but I'm not. You get the 
point. 

Which brings to the thing that bothers me: (takes a deep breath)

If what Steven and I think is true, then how do we know James and 
Lily died on Halloween? My aunt borrowed my copy of SS/PS, so I can't 
check for myself. Your help would be much appreciated.

nagging question)
