The #include
"somefile.h" statements already tell the compiler to compile the
necessary h files. Therefore, what are the practical reasons (if any)
to add the included .h files to the solution so that they are visible
in solution explorer?

Purely convenience in locating and opening them. You can remove them
from the solution, and the project would still compile. In fact, your
project likely uses lots of .h files that are not listed in the Solution
Explorer - standard library headers, Windows headers, perhaps
third-party libraries.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
