For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.ok, I asked this on jk's site (jkrowling.com) and she said it was because when harry ws a baby, he didn't see his parent's deaths, he just saw a green flash of light, and he was in his cot. when he saw cedric die, he really did see him die, and jk actually claimed in an interview " this just added to the trauma of harry seeing his parents' deaths" so he should have been able to see the thestrals, but she's jsut making exuses. she said it hadn't sunk in yet - whatever!?!?!
Well, after fourth year he didn't see them because JK didn't want to open up a new mystery. And maybe Harry just wanted to deny the fact that Cedric was really gone.
Or maybe JK just hadn't had it in her plot until the fifth book and just overlooked a tiny little fact.
Give her a break. She's a mom who is writing SEVEN books for us and is pregnant again.
