Then Sarah asked:
"I don't know if I'm just being excessively dumb here but I thought 
we all knew exactly why Harry survived and Voldemort was defeated - 
his mothers sacrifice caused the curse to rebound on Voldemort. So 
why would Harry treat it as if it were still unexplained? Because he 
didn't want to get into that conversation with Cho?
Can anyone clear this up?"


Now me:

Good morning!

When I read this scene, I thought that Harry didn't want to open the love issue with Cho. As he has been told by Dumbledore in PS he assumably still knows about his mother's love/sacrifice. But I can understand that Harry doesn't want the whole WW to know.
