Mandy again:
Yes. How could I forget Hagrid, Luna and Crouch Jr.'s mothers!?  

There's also Snape's mum. We don't know if she is alive or dead, but 
we do have the impression she was treated badly by his dad. 

What about Petunia and Lily's mum, Harry grandma? Who else thinks it 
odd that Petunia never mentions her to Harry? (Or Harry to her?)  She 
never visits, so does that mean she's she dead?  And, it seems, that 
Petunia doesn't have any pictures of her around the house?  We don't 
know that for sure, but surly if there was a picture around it would 
have stimulated an inquiry by Harry at some point?

The outlook for any mum is the series is bleak, to say the least.

Cheers Mandy
