I can see why JKR would think a book 6 graveyard scene important...

Because if could very well be where James and Lilly are Buried.

All this time, at least to my recollection, Harry has never asked 
where James and Lilly's bodies (or remains) were. 

We know that James died (most likely) by AK, Lilly as well... we also 
know that the body doesn't disappear. The assumption is (of course) 
that the bodies dissapeared within the explosion at the house in 
Godric's hallow, but that hasn't been confirmed.

We do not know the origin of the explosion, nor the whereabouts of 
the bodies/gravesights.

That may be something we learn. Additionally the bodies may have been 
buried at a graveyard at Hogwarts. Possibly we find that Voldemort 
looks to undo any "old magic" by Lilly by using part of her body 
(like part of his own father's) in some ritual or other.

However, the mention of a possible graveyard in book 6 can very well 
be the gravesights of Lilly and James Potter
