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.....)
