AmanitaMuscaria : I always assumed it was his upbringing - he doesn't 
ask questions about his parents either, but then, he was told from an 
early age not to ask questions and punished for doing so.
If you consider that he's been isolated from socialising influences 
and been given very strange messages about himself and his parents 
until he gets to Hogwarts, I'm amazed that JKR makes him believable 
as a reasonable, pleasant, tough, self-reliant teenager!

Now, that is an interesting question. Along with whether goblins own 
Gringotts or are just employed there, and who won the goblin wars? 
Why wouldn't there be renegrade groups of elves somewhere? Perhaps 
Harry needs to ask Dobby?
