Wait...
I've just had a thought, in the Japanese wizarding school your robes go white after you practice the dark arts: do they have a different symbol for the colour white in Japan because wite over here is symbolic for innocent?
In some Asian countries white is representative of death, at the very least I know that Buddhists traditional funeral attire consists of white robes. Could be an allusion to that.
Suppose we do associate white flowers with funerals
The fact that Harry walks in and sees Ron's dead body and Molly using riddikulus only for it to turn into various other family members dead and then finally Harry, breaks my heart. She says she thinks about them dying all the time. Reading about this powerful little witch being subdued by her family being destroyed and Harry, seeing someone like his mother break down and be so vulnerable is hard for me to read or listen to and I'm glad they left it out of the movies.
