Default How come?

How come Harry couldn't see the thestrals when he had seen his parents die when he was a baby? In my opinion he should have been able to see them all along, not just after Cedric died. What do you think?

No, because he didn't really realize he had seen them die. Besides, he only saw Lily die, not James, and even that's debatable.

^That makes sense, I always just assumed that you had to remember seeing it, and Harry couldn't remember really, so he couldn't see...but that makes more sense.
