"It has to do with subconcious - and actually, Harry doesn't fear not
so much of punishment but rejection. Dursleys *already* reject him
(and they'd be puninshing him anyway) - so it's not OF Dursleys. When
he has people who care for him, he doesn't dare ask because he fears
he'll lose them/their love."

Del replies :
Do you have any canon to back that up ? Because I don't see that in Harry.

" I also think that, well - partly Harry doesn't ask questions because
he doesn't know enough to know what to ask. He's eager to listen if
someone tells him, but he just doesn't know enough to ask."

Del replies :
What do you mean by he doesn't know "enough" ? When Sirius tells him
he knew Harry's grandparents, what doesn't Harry know that would
prevent him from asking "Oh, my grandparents ?! What were they like ?" ?

"And um - Harry was *angry* when he bombarded Petunia with questions,
and having just faced the Dementors (and saving her ickle Duddykins),
something happened to show the beginning for questions..."

Del replies :
Harry was still angry when he got to 12GP. And his temper didn't
improve when the only people he thought of questioning (Ron and
Hermione) couldn't tell him anything.
