Herm:
I agree, it *is* difficult to believe that Harry hasn't asked 
questions about his parents.  However, I find it even harder to 
believe that Harry would have had a conversation with someone about 
his parents that we weren't told about.

It just isn't clear to me that James being in Gryffindor is a fact.  
He very well could have been.  But if that's true, why doesn't JKR 
just come out and say it?  I'll tell you why, either (a) he wasn't in 
Gryffindor and she doesn't want to ruin the surprise yet, or (b) she 
is misleading us on purpose.

I've never heard mention of James' middle name or even initial.  
Since I don't read fan fiction, you may have heard it there.  If you 
can find canon to support his middle name or initial, I'd be 
interested to check it out.
