There's also the fact that in a setting such as this, I don't think a single mother would be willing to give up a fairly cushy job when she has a new baby girl to take care of.
Given Leliana's mother was a maid to Lady Cecile, it's quite likely her father was also a servant.
That is possible as well. Whether soldier or civilian I don't believe Leliana's father was highborn either, as Leliana is never referred to as Lady Leliana. Also the highborn all have last names, indicating a link to their proud noble houses. That Leliana's last name is never mentioned may be an indication that she doesn't have one, which in the medieval era at least was not uncommon for some people in the lower classes. Perhaps the same is true of Thedas.

Even that may be linked to the Ferelden War of Independence however. I can't imagine Orlesian noblewomen, no matter how kindly, would have been popular in Ferelden in its immediate aftermath. This would be particularly true if Lady Cecile had been a vassal of King Meghren, or if her family had ruled over a Ferelden fiefdom gained during the occupation period.

Pretty sure all Orlesian nobles would have to have been vassals to Meghren. So yeah, that's very true. Being a sweet old lady would not have helped much.

Yeah servants quarters in the house of a noblewoman, even a minor one, is probably better for child-rearing than a shack in Denerim's market district.

Being a Liara fan and a Leliana fan, I just can't get enough of this "favoritism" myself!
Those tears are delicious. Where can I find more?

err, we have seen and heard Cassandra a lot mores in the trailers...
.
I wonder if its one of those people that killed her in DAO and then complained that she appeared in DA2 despite her "death".
err, we have seen and heard Cassandra a lot mores in the trailers...
But her name doesn't start with an L

I for one am looking forward to the unveiling of Cass' romance option,
Unlike this tumblr person, I got my popcorn ready.

Backlash is she's straight OR bisexual?
Wut.

That "confession" suggest that Cassandra should have been a lesbian to avoid meltdown central. Which I find really funny...

You know somebody is going to complain no matter what.

It's great to be a Liara and Leliana fan 
Seriously, Leliana isn't the only returning character and of course Bioware features these characters in their trailers a bit more prominently...simply because it makes sense from a marketing standpoint.
Getting annoyed that an element you don't enjoy gets lots of prominence is pretty normal
(please don't come back Cerberus!)

Folk from both camps will complain either way, I'm just gonna stand here and observe. Zero hoots will be given on my end, I just enjoy the nerdrage.
Romance isn't core gameplay.
Even seemingly simple, innocent and trusting Leliana of DA:O...
Backlash is she's straight OR bisexual?
Wut.
I think there was a bit of controversy in the romance thread where people thought that if Cassandra is bi, then that means one of the only straight romances might be an adviser. Some people didn't like this idea because they feared an inferior romance (like Steve's or Samantha's in ME3), and gay people would get better options/more party member romances this time around. Probably an unfounded concern anyway, but we'll see come October. I'm a gay guy and don't care either way.
Also, as others have said, people would be upset over literally any sexual orientations the characters might have.
