Because we get it from Harry's memories when he is confronted by the 
dementor boggart (p. 177 PoA Bloomsbury harcover). Harry was there,
witnessed it, but was just too young to remember consciously.
Apparently JKR uses the theory that everything we went through is
somewhere in our brains and can be accessed at the right
circumstances. It is also Harry's problem when practicing the Patronus
charm. On the one hand he wants to defeat the Dementor/Boggart, on the
other hand, he does hear his parents voices which, though it is still
awfull to hear them dying, is also very precious to him.
