Now Cory:

I don't think it seems so hard to believe that they could be buried 
at Hogwarts and Harry might not have found them.  If there's a 
graveyard at Hogwarts, I assume that a lot of wizards are buried 
there, not just Harry's parents.  Think about it -- if there's a big 
cemetary on the school grounds, why *would* Harry spend a lot of time 
hanging out there, unless he *knew* that his parents were buried 
there (which he obviously does not)?  

If the cemetary is on school grounds, Harry could have walked past it 
a hundred times and would probably never have given it a second 
thought.  It's not like he's going to go walking through the cemetary 
examining headstones on the off chance that he knows someone.  Until 
someone tells him that his parents are buried there, he'll have no 
reason to go there.
