Well, we do know something.  James' parents can't have been all that 
disinterested as they did take Sirius in after he ran away from his 
own horrible family. And, even once he started living on his own, he 
went to the Potters for Sunday lunch.

 We now have awful Snape parents and awful Black parents. I'd vote 
for decent Potter parents.
