Eh, she's going to be living a lie. If she finds out one day - I can easily see the Vow causing that, if nothing else - that'll be horrible.
And if she doesn't, that'll be another kind of horrible. Especially when Harry started as a "truth is sacred" guy, and I don't think that, for all his experience since then, he's done a complete reversal on that.
I imagine that Harry can tell her the truth in a few years, after they've saved the world, and she's learnt more, and there's just more distance from the event. But I don't know if she'll be fooled that long, or conversely if Harry will ever be willing to tell her. I'm more inclined to think that the Vow might prevent him from telling her, if he's worried that she won't be able to offer him good advice afterwards.
Hm... I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here and predict that Harry will tell her quickly OR will want her to learn Occumency and expect to tell her quickly after she has. Confidence 70%.
