Pippin:
Trouble is, no amount of detail can satisfy an obsessed
fan, because just as in the real world, when the known
facts increase, the known unknowns increase
exponentially. 

Harry began the books not knowing who he was. At
the end the answer we get is : a husband and a father, a fan of
Dumbledore and Snape (!) and a promoter of tolerance
between Gryffindor and Slytherin. What more do we really
need to know?

 I'd *like* to know the whole history of Middle-earth, 
Over-heaven and the Sundering Seas...
oops, wrong book <g>
