SSSusan:
LOL!  Why wouldn't Harry have visited them?  Because Harry never asks 
questions!  [Damn him!]  How much has Harry EVER really asked about 
Godric's Hollow?  To our knowledge, he's not asked for specifics, 
he's never asked where his parents are buried, he's never expressed 
an interest in visiting their graves (if they exist) nor Godric's 
Hollow itself.  Many of us go NUTS over this aspect of Harry's 
personality.  As likely as not, it's as much JKR keeping things from 
us as Harry's "true personality," but still....

Seriously, with all H/R/H's wanderings, I do understand what you're 
saying about its being unlikely that they've not stumbled across 
this...but given that the Hogwarts graveyard has never been mentioned 
by anyone in 5 books, maybe it's tucked away somewhere on the edge of 
the grounds?

As for the bodies of James & Lily, this was just posted in 111273 by

their house, destroyed, and their bodies -- I realized what Peter 
must have done. What I'd done." PoA - The Servant of Lord Voldemort.
