Dany now,
I'm sure somebody thought about this before me, but, here I go 
anyway...
I just don't get WHY Harry never asked about their parents graves, 
Why he never wanted to go there or at least to know where they are ( 
I mean specifically where they are, we all know they are in Godric's)
even when he didn't know he was a wizard and he was convinced their 
parents had died in a car accident... What would Petunia have said 
in this case? Why he never asked Sirius about this? He was his 
father best mate, he would have had a reasonable answer.
Let's think about it for a moment... you never knew how your parents 
really died, isn't it quite understandable that when you find out 
the truth you wanna go there, I don't know, just to cry a bit, to 
say that you are sorry, to say that you love them or thank them?

Well, I hope someone can help me a bit with this
You take care now,

Dany
