Carol:
It may well have to do with Harry's parents, if only to satisfy our
suriosity about what happened after their bodies were found and to get
Harry to start asking questions. But it may also have something to do
with the ghosts. I've always wondered why NHN and the Bloody Baaron
and for that matter, the Fat Friar, chose to be Hogwarts ghosts.
Surely they had their own castles or cloisters or whatever to haunt?
Surely they didn't die (like Professor Binns) in Hogwarts itself or on
the Hogwarts grounds. But if they're buried in a cemetery on the
grounds, their presence at Hogwarts at least makes some degree of sense.
