Considering that Harry is young and do not remember his parents [being
alive], I don't find it at all surprising that Harry has not asked where his
parents are buried (assume that wizards do get buried).  As Harry gets
older, it becomes more and more of a possibility of him asking about his
parents' graves, and to be sure, I do expect it to happen within the next 2
books.  However, I am not at all surprised that it has not happened yet.
Death is a final stage, especially the younger you are, so it isn't
reasonable to think that Harry would think of his parents' grave, and I know
that I certainly never asked such things when I was younger.
