Not just plot reasons. Harry's just not the sort who goes around 
asking questions. Only one who does, it seems, is Seamus Finnigan. 
Hermione goes to the library if she wants to know something.

Comes to mind what I've been told about different people having 
different methods of learning - three-main methods - visual, oral and 
kinetic. Most people have more than one way, and possibly one 
stronger than others - occasionally someone even only has one method. 
(And the one question I have about it is: WHY do we have to wait 
until highest-level professional school to figure out how it is that 
we, personally, learn? We ought to be *aware* of this...)

Also, teachers tend to use teaching methods that suit their learning 
methods... and this theory also means that when learning methods and 
teaching method don't match, there are problems.

---
Oral learner needs to HEAR what he wants to learn. (Not my type, but 
this would probably be the sort to ask questions, read aloud etc.)

Visual learner needs to *see* things - reading, Pictures, observing, 
visioning...

Kinetic learner needs to be moving in order to learn. And, any 
movement will do. Pedalling on an exercise bike, walk around, play 
with a pen etc. while learning.

There are differences also on just how detailed instructions people 
are ready to take etc.
