Yes and no. Lightning is definitely a mother figure.
One of the real reasons I can't hate XIII despite its glaring faults is the Hope/ Lightning thread. Lightning just lost Serah, and Hope's mother just died. They immediately get some great chemistry because they want to adopt each other to replace the people they've lost. At the same instant they're complete strangers and Lightning doesn't want to completely give up on Serah.
It's actually some of Final Fantasy's best character writing, if a fair bit undercommunicated. Unfortunately it's spoiled because this is intercut with Snow beating all manner of subtlety out of our brains with his nimrod ways.
