Me:

I don't know if there is a grave somewhere, but the bodies WERE 
found. Sirius mentions seeing them in PoA, when he went to the house 
to check and see if they were all right, he found the house 
destroyed, Lily and James' bodies and little baby Harry all by 
himself...

The answer that I came up with is that it might have to be a death 
you REMEMBER seeing, and since Harry was just a baby, he doesn't 
actually remember seeing his mother die.
