While I don't disagree with anything Tonks said; in fact, I think she
is very close to the mark, I think there is one additional aspect that
helps explain Harry's frequent lack of comprehension, and that is context.

Using myself as a model, I find that people I know quite well in a
specific context, I don't seem to know at all in a completely foriegn
contexts.

For example, there are many people that I work with, and in the
context of work, I have no problem remembering their names, but if I
meet them outside that context, say at the 'State Fair' or at the
shopping mall, I frequently draw a complete blank on who they are. I
know that I know them, but can't remember their names, or where I know
them from.

Shifting this to Harry, Harry doesn't make the connection between the
Grimmauld Place locket and the Slytherin locket because the context of
those two items is so diverse. The Grimmauld Place locket is a curious
trinket among many more fastinating trinkets that got thrown away.
Since it was thrown away, he has, in a manner of speaking, removed it
from his mind; forgotten about it. I'm sure he is very focused on the
Slytherin locket and certainly remembers what it looks like, but
without something to jog his memory, with out something to bring those
two diverse contexts together, he has no reason to associate the two.

When that context connection is made, Harry will remember the
Grimmauld Place locket, and remember that it looks very much like the
Slytherin locket and go looking for it. 

So, lacking a contextual association between to seemly diverse
lockets, Harry doesn't make the connection. As soon a contextual
association does arise that makes that connnection, Harry will
remember the Grimmauld Place locket and understand its significants.

Kind of a round-about way of putting it, but I think you still get my
meaning.
