Now Cory:

Yes, if my parents had died, I would want to know where they were 
buried, but that's a separate issue.  The post I was responding to 
said that it was "unbelievable" that the graves could be on the 
school grounds, because "surely" Harry would have found them by now 
(I'm paraphrasing, but I think I've got the essence).  My point is 
that, given that he has not asked and nobody has told him, it doesn't 
seem so unbelievable to me that he would not have found them on his 
own.  Yes, if I were Harry, I would have probably asked a lot more 
questions about my parents by now than he has (including, possibly, 
where they are buried), but Harry is apparently a lot less curious 
about certain things than a lot of us are.
