LizVega here:

The question of the ages! Generally, though, why hasn't Harry asked 
anyone, especially Sirius, anything about his parents? He's never 
asked where the money came from, their jobs, his other relatives, 
etc. An opportune moment would've been when DD told Harry in OOP 
that he delivered him to his last living relatives. But, Harry was 
always told not to ask questions, maybe that's why.
