ACTUALLY I JUST HAD A THOUGHT :O Lilina could still get off easily if Cori retconned Hector into an abusive dad. She has no problem destroying canonically close relationships into crappy ones to suit her own needs (like Brock and Misty going from being Ash's best friends to staying with him out of pity and obligation, or Professor Oak going being Ash's mentor and father figure to telling him to "shut the hell up"). Plus, Uther is the opposite of Hector in every way so he could be the FE equivalent to James's magical Wiccan grandparents.
