Vivian spurted out a few questions:
 
> In fact there are many places were Harry should have asked for 
> information and he doesn't.

Finwitch thinks there are emotional instory-reasons overruling 
logical curiousity as to why Harry doesn't ask. (and Dursley 
upbringing Harry still needs to grow out of).

 Some of my questions would include:
> 
> What spell was Luna's mother doing when she died?

Finwitch figures it was an experimental spell (or was it a potion?) 
but any way, it may have been one that er - sent her beyond the Veil 
(without her body, I assume).
 
> Why are the Bloody Baron Bloody, and Sir Nick almost headless?

Finwitch recalls Sir Nicholas explaining the dull axe and the 
executioner who wasn't up to the job. (Terrible way to die. I'd guess 
guillotine cut off some heads of those in Headless Hunt). As for the 
Bloody Baron -- well, Harry ought to ask Bloody Baron if he wants to 
know. It's not anyone else's business to tell. Most likely, though - 
it's to do with the way he died.
 
> What happened to Harry's grandparents?

Finwitch would like to know that, too. Probably they're dead or 
othervise unreachable. Maybe Harold Potter is in Norway, Sweden 
and/or Finland studying Crumble-Horned Snorkacks-- lucky for Harry, 
when he's in Sweden, he happens to meet Luna Lovegood and hears that 
Harry is alive... (Hmm-mm. I wonder what those creatures would be 
like flying reindeers, and only the purehearted/innocents can see 
them?)
 
> Is Flamel now dead or is he still getting his affairs in order?

Finwitch would like to meet Mr and Mrs Flamel within the books...
 
> How did Dumbledore and Flamel actually meet? Was DD once Flamel's 
> apprentice?

Ah yes... well, who can say. I'd presume Dumbledore did want to learn 
alchemy so he sought out the unquestionable master of the art - 
Nicholas Flamel, maker of the Philosopher's Stone - which alchemists 
all over were trying to accomplish. Hmm-mm. Wonder how Nicholas 
recieved him?
 
> What's the deal with Grindelwald? Also, if he was defeated by 
> Dumbledore in 1945 at which point did DD then return to teach at 
> Hogwarts during Riddle's time? 

Because he loves Hogwarts, and because educating the young is the 
best and most peaceful way to change the World...
 
> To who does the brain that attacked Ron belong to?

Does it matter? What matters most to me is WHAT KIND OF SCAR DID IT 
CAUSE?

> Vivian, whose four-year-old son told her (while watching the PoA 
> movie) that the reason why Sirius was so mad in the Shrieking Shack 
> was because he was dirty and needed a bath.

I think your son knew the truth and meant many sorts of dirt at 
once... mental included.
