But, in Harry's defense, his parents have been dead as long as he can 
remember.  It isn't like he has memories of a wonderful childhood and 
then, BAM, one Halloween it was all ripped away from him. He hasn't 
spent his childhood associating his parents' deaths with Halloween.  
On his eleventh birthday, he was told that his parents were murdered 
and that it happened on Halloween.  (And he was told a lot of cool 
stuff, too!)  He has certainly reflected MANY times on how they died 
and at whose hands, but when they died isn't as important.

I'm of the school of thought that Harry was conceived on Halloween as 
well.  And he certainly isn't going to reflect on that either!  "Eww! 
My parents wouldn't do that, would they!"  ;)
