  Reason why I am thinking this, is because they were in Diagon
  alley. Isn't Diagon alley hidden to muggles? How did they enter? Also how
is
  it that Hermione, seems to study magic outside of school....In PS/SS, I
  can't remember the page, she fixes Harry's classes, even before, they had
  entered Hogwarts. How did she know the spell 'Oculas reparo'..I haven't
got
  the book, so no doubt I have spelt that wrong. She must have studied whist
  at home, but I thought magic was not allowed outside Hogwarts.
  [Cristina Rebelo Angelo] Somethings you can learn in books, and apparently
there is some kind of magic allowed and overlooked (check Gof, for
instance).That they were in Diagon Alley has already been discussed here, I
believe it's agreed muggles can know things and places magical with
authorizations (maybe they have a memory charm afterwards, in case they
prove not to be trustworthy).

   Sone people,
  might say well she had no idea about the rules of Hogwarts, because she
  didn't even enter the school yet, but what about CoS , when she repairs
  Harry's glasses for him again in Diagon alley
  [Cristina Rebelo Angelo] this one is really starting to bother me. Arthur
Weasley repairs Harry's glasses in the book, it's in the film (suppose some
sort of narrative economy) that they make Hermione do it.

   ......................What do
  you guys think? Because to be honest, I believe there is more to Hermione
  Granger and her family, than just being muggles, with a witch for a
  daughter.
  [Cristina Rebelo Angelo] Sorry for not remembering the exact quote, and
for not looking it up in the HPFG archives, but... they're dentists, right?
And doesn't Ron say something about a squib in his family who's a dentist?

  Hermione makes me think of Lilly. Apparently Lilly herself was quite
gifted (going home turning teacups into rats and stuff, which is something
even Harry has trouble with after 4 years... JKR doesn't say he's bad at it,
but doesn't say he's good neither...). Maybe the Grangers are just as
enthusiastic as the Evans were...
