Good point -- TR probably sucked the life force out of her!  It seems 
like most of the things that have been easily "cured" were relatively 
minor:  broken bones, bone replacements, blood loss, minor hexes.  
Things like that. To me, the fact that child birth can kill a wizard 
(or technically, I guess, a witch) is consistent with the fact that 
wizards can't raise the dead - meaning their power over life and 
death is limited.  Like Muggle doctors, wizards can't cure 
everything.

Hagrid was offended when he found that Harry believed that his 
parents died in a car crash.

True, but I think his offense was twofold:  First, he was offended 
that the Dursleys had lied to Harry and belittled James and Lily's 
death.  Second, as you seem to indicate, I believe it was a reference 
to the fact that James and Lily were powerful wizards and that it 
would have taken more than a mere car crash to kill them (which begs 
the question of whether Muggle-type illnesses or accidents can kill 
wizards in the first place).  Thus, whether a an illness or accident 
is fatal may depend on the power of the particular witch/wizard.  We 
don't know how strong a witch TR's mother was, although some may 
assume she was strong and that is where he got some of his power.
