This is exactly the reason I think he doesn't think much about his parents
or their deaths.  He may not have even know for sure when they died.  Why
would he suddenly start thinking about something on a particular day when he
never did before?

Also, I think since Harry never knew his parents, he doesn't really mourn
them, what he does mourn is the general idea of parents and the loss of a
normal family life.  I think that is what ERISED really showed him, his
desire wans't so much for his parents in particular as to be part of a
loving family.
