*knows* and can tell Harry, if only he can persuade her to do so<<<
Marion:
If only Harry is interested in anything his Aunt has to say. He usually dismisses the Dursleys (not without reason, I grant you) and he's also been 'trained' by them not to ask questions. Strangely enough, he does ask questions about his father throughout the books, when meeting friends and aquaintances of his father, but he's in the classroom of a teacher who's always talking about his mother for an entire *year* and he never. asks. a. single. thing. about. his. mother.
I mean, this is scary.
The Dursley conditioning 'don't ask questions' can only go so far.
