After reviewing many posts about what might have happened at Godric's 
Hollow the night Harry's parents died...I have been thinking. Does 
Harry know when his parents died?? By canon we know, therefore he 
knows, where, how, who, and why but I can't find canon that he knows 
when. 

Several dates are consistent throught the books, Sept 1 - Arriving 
feast, June 30th - leaving feast, Harry's (and now Nevelle's) 
Birthday- July 31, Christmas - Dec. 25th, and the Halloween feast. 
Never have I read that the last feast has been anything but a 
celebration. Never does Harry mention that "it is the anniversary of 
his parents death" or reference to "this is the night my parents 
died" or any memoriam regarding that date even in passing. 

Since noone volunteers info to Harry and he sure doesn't ask like a 
normal kid, you would think by now almost sixteen years later someone 
or at least Hermione would have mentioned it since it is part of 
wizard history. Wouldn't that take the cake if he gets that info in 
Prof Binn's history class?
