WRT Ursa, I assumed the reason why we don't get her full backstory is because it is a show for 7 year old's. What is said (not shown) is that she commits treason, after which Azulon is found dead. But that doesn't excuse them never finding time to include her (which they seemed to be at least aware of enough to mention before the comic-con airing of the finale).
The granddaughter of the previous Avatar would have been a good member of the White Lotus amiright? The way I see it, she's more qualified than a pre-epiphany Iroh.
Also, the White Lotus...in addition to them all being dudes, I was really bothered by Katara's step-grandad being a member. All the others were notable for thinking outside the bun wrt their cultural traditions. He was notable for being a massive sexist who was bitter about getting dumped. Grangran, and her ability to duck an engagement to run for another hemisphere seemed more likely.
