name may never have come up and Harry is not a great one for asking
questions. > >

In the beginning of OOP I don't think Harry is concerned, nor curious
about the anonymous Evans reference...
However..there are so few references to RL Lily that it has made me
WWWAAYY suspicious. (And I said this after book one and have been
complaining since).
Harry, like most MALE adolecsents--60 percent and higher are
obsessed/more concerned with their fathers rather than their
mothers. This is why we come into HP's life at age 11 (to ensure the
mystery).
I love JKR...she can finish off the series without any clues to
Harry's parentage if need be. (for the past five books 99 percent of
it has been James, JAmes, JAMes, JAMEs, JAMES, (Lily) JAMEs,(Harry)
JAMes, JAmes,(Harry), James(LILY), and, james.....)
