> Well, quite frankly, Cho didn't see Cedric die. So regardless
whether or not it has to do with acceptance/understanding of death or
not, she wouldn't see them. She experienced death, but didn't see
it. Big difference. I'm sure almost all students have known someone
who died, a grandparent, someone. But not near as many have
witnessed it.

> Now, if there is a discrepancy, I don't think it's necessarily
Harry's parents death. He was a baby, couldn't have understood what
was happening, just that something bad was happening. For that
matter, James was apparently in the other room when he died, and that
leaves Lily. Harry may well have been crying by this point, as
babies feed off emotions, and his eyes could have been closed, he
could've been looking away, anything.

Did HP actually see Cedric die? I think he saw (in a "dream") the
old groundskeeper die at the beginning of GoF...
