No, you don't know anything about Scootaloo's parents. My Little Pony was not created recently, it's been around since 1982. They [and any other family members she may have] were not mentioned in Friendship is Magic because they would not contribute anything to the series; unlike the other fillies' parents (i.e. Sweetiebelle and Rarity's parents in the episode "Sisterhooves").

Besides the obvious changes -- her appearance and personality -- Scootaloo has not been changed. She is not a new character nor is she a major one, so her original history would have been kept. Both her parents were Earth ponies (like Mr. and Mrs. Cake) and she hadn't seen another Pegasus until she arrived in Ponyville. That Pegasus was Rainbowdash, which explains why Scootaloo looks up to her/is so attached. At Scootaloo's age both RD and Fluttershy [for the most part] could fly, so that is not really a factor.

Perhaps they will be in Season 3, who really knows (or cares). At the end of the day, we all know she'll learn to fly regardless of her parentage.
