have  read this theory before, but the only basis in canon that 
there is is tenuous at best (as I see it). I guess what I mean is 
why do you buy into it as much as you do? <


Pippin:
I can't speak for anyone else, but the very idea that it is James 
and Lily whose graves Harry would find speaks to the  yearning 
to reunite Harry with his parents in some way.  But I'm not sure 
why James and Lily would be buried at Hogwarts. If they were, 
surely someone would have taken Harry to visit their graves 
before?

Perhaps it would be more fruitful to speculate about other graves 
we might find there?

Previous headmasters
The House ghosts
Moaning Myrtle
Professor Binns
Professor Quirrell
Barty Crouch Sr.
Cedric Diggory

Ooh, maybe Harry sees the graveyard for the first time when 
Dumbledore dies?
