My question is this: Why couldn't Harry see the thestrals his first
year? He had seen his mother die, after all. Was it because he was so
young and couldn't actually remember the attack?

More or less.

I thought it was because the Thestrals weren't conceived until OotP was
being written...

Techncially, but Harry never saw Lily die, nor as a baby could he
properly process if he did see it.

Look at it. You would think that sometime prior to this, *somebody*
would have mentioned that there were invisible horses pulling the
coaches to and from Hogsmeade; Hermione would certainly have read her
Monster Book of Monsters (and other books) and have known about them.

And assumed everybody else did too. Am I the only one who's read the
Monster Book of Monsters?
