Back to Eustace_Scrubb, who opened this can of worms:

Yes, but what Kneasy was suggesting originally was that Hermione gave
Harry a really obvious source of information by mentioning the names
of two histories that discuss Harry...all I suggested and all Geoff
was basically concurring with (I think), was that Harry wouldn't have
found all the answers (maybe none of them) in those books.

In my original post, I agreed with those who think Harry's apparent
lack of curiousity is problematical.  There have been reasonable (if
not entirely satisfactory) explanations for this, but it's still
curious, very curious.

Cheers,
