Default Re: Harry's Grandparents

It doesn't really make sense for Harry's grandparents, especially on James' side, to have died of natural causes. James and Lily had Harry rather young, they were only 21 when they died. That means that their parents couldn't have been over 60, and even for Muggles that really isn't that old. But wizards and wizards, especially have a longer average lifespan, I think we have to rule out old age as a cause of death. Obviously disease is also possible, but again, it doesn't seem very likely for James' parents.
If all four of Harry's grandparents were really struck down by illness prematurely, than he's got some kind of cursed heritage. :/
