Forgetting where his house was (though he remembers how to get there from Gabe's so the memory problem seems temporary) is one way he's really let go of the place he was beaten Interesting thought, but I'm inclined to see it the other way myself - he's still blocking memories, and not really accepting things for what they were, and that's perhaps reflected in the way that he won't face his mum either. He's faced his father's death by going to visit his grave, and he's face Gabe and their relationship by meeting him and coming to Derby with him, and recreating something innocent that they did as friends, but he still won't face up to his mother's role in his life - perhaps symbolised by the blocked window in his old house. You know, if you want to do that kind of interpreting! *g*
I agree that the mystic feeling of Bodie still being alive seems at odds with the more gritty reality that we've been presented with as their relationship elsewhere though...
