You think it's because it's too early in the story ? Well, yes, it 
could be of course. But, hum, let's say that I'm growing 
progressively, er, *tired* of this explanation ;-) I'd rather find a 
reasonable character-driven explanation.


Alla:

Well,yes, I do. Sorry! I understand you being tired of this one (I 
am too,actually), but we cannot get away from the fact that there 
are two more books to go, do we?

Again, the example of Harry not asking questions about his parents, 
I think clearly shows such possibility.

Of course just as you, I also prefer character driven explanation.


Del:
> It is possible that DD told Remus and Sirius to avoid doing 
anything that might further antagonise Harry to Snape, because it is 
crucially important that Harry let Snape teach him Occlumency. In 
that light, it becomes obvious that telling Harry that James and 
Sirius attacked Snape because he was a junior DE was the last thing 
to do.

Alla:

Curious, very curious. It may work, but how would Dumbledore know 
that Harry will want to have such conversation in the first place, 
or did you mean that he just gave Sirius and remus general warning - 
if past comes up in the conversations with Harry, don't dive into it 
too much.


Del: 
Moreover, if you're right and Snape hadn't done anything *yet*, then 
James and Sirius *were* out of bounds, no matter how pure their
intentions. That would further explain why Sirius seems a bit 
embarassed.


Alla:

Oh, I have no doubt that they WERE out of bounds regardless of their 
intentions, I just think that their intentions were more than we 
know about yet.
