Still, if your parents died when you were young, wouldn't where they
were buried be something you'd long to know? Understandably, if
Harry asked the Dursleys and they refused to tell him, he wouldn't
have kept pursuing the issue. But once he entered the WW, it's hard
to believe he wouldn't have asked where they were buried (or if their
bodies survived the conflagration at Godric's Hollow). But, as far as
we know, Harry's never even thought about it in the past five years.
Perhaps Harry will discover his parents' graves, but JKR will have to
explain his previous complete lack of interest (maybe someone put
Harry under a "disinterest" charm so he wouldn't, er, dig up something
better left buried ;-)
