Even before -- Harry remembered the green light, lying in his closet, 
each night trying to reach as far back as he could. He *assumed* it 
had something to do with the "car accident" that killed his parents.

He heard laughter (Voldemort's) when Hagrid told him the truth. He 
remembers MORE. This, I believe, is one reason Harry chose to trust 
Hagrid's version - he remembers. Another one being that Hagrid spoke 
highly of them and Harry. Of course, Petunia admitting the wizardry 
part and Hagrid giving Dudley a pig tail adds to it.

He did. And I, too, believe that the 'dream' was a memory. A memory 
that also helped him to trust Hagrid... Yes, Harry *does* remember 
his past - or has *visions* of it. After all, he has had visions 
about future (Buckbeak in Crystal Ball, Triwizard Cup in dream before 
he knew he was entering) and present (of Voldemort ending with his 
scar hurting, at least I presume it was *present*. So why not past? 
Either Harry remembers because he's held on to it - or he has a 
*vision* about his past...
