He *has*, Jen.
Harry came to the castle with one burning question on his mind that 
parrallels both:  whom does the grail serve? AND what ails thee?

"Who am I?" "Who is Harry Potter"

Harry even answers a question about wether he is Harry or not 
with "Oh him..." in PS.

And the all important mystery "Who is Harry Potter?"

Personally, Jen and Vivian, I totally agree we both of you that the 
story will trace itself all the way back to Hogwarts Founding Four.
Godrics Hollow will be revealed, hopefully not by Snape or Peter as 
Jen suggests, but by a realisation that what occurred there was an 
integral thread of WW fabric. The reference to ancient magic there, 
I believe, is because when we trace the story back to the ancients 
and their purpose and their dreams GH is seen to be the final 
product of a thousand year construct in the WW realised by Lily's 
faith. Knowing that LV spent some 50 years on his construct, it is 
plausible to imagine that the ancients might have been gradually 
dropping in the pieces of its own miracle into place to eventually 
to unite the wizard world, and the many beings that live in it.
