In canon, is it established that Voldemort killed Susan Bones' grandparents,
or was it her parents? I'm fairly certain it is her grandparents, but for
the life of me I cannot find the reference. Thanks in advance for any
replies.

Me:
The Bones are mentioned in PS, Chapter 4, when Hagrid was telling Harry
about You-Know-Who and Lily and James' death; what he says is: "No one ever
lived after he decided ter kill 'em, no one except you, an' he'd killed some
of the best witches an' wizards of the age - the McKinnons, the Bones, the
Prewetts - ...."

The fact that Hagrid was talking about Susan's grandparents was confirmed,
if memory serves, by JKR herself in an interview. I don't think they're
mentioned anywhere else in the books.
