I too find it odd that so many parents and grandparents are dead.
Were they caught up in the WW war? We don't know anything about
anyone's parents. Where's Remus' parents? We've been on the
discussion re: LV and poor parenting skills, but it seems to me that
we're given hints that Remus' parents loved their son, got over the
fact that their son was now a werewolf, etc., so what happened to
them? What happened to Sirius' mom and where's his dad? I think
we'll find out about Regulus Black, but nothing's ever said about the
dad. I can understand that James' parents might have gotten caught
up in the war, but why would Lily's parents? They're muggles,
right? Where are they?

All these missing parents worry me as well.  It makes you think that 
the DEs targeted these people to get at DD and his people.  Perhaps, 
Hermione and Ron should prepare themselves for an attack on their 
families by Voldemort.  JKR has mentioned that Harry's stay at Privet 
Drive will be the shortest in book 6. Perhaps it's because Voldemort 
is going to wipe them out during summer vacation.
