Hermione - HP's birthday - Canon

[krules]

> Margie:
> Hermione implanted false memories to make her parents think they were different people (who didn't have a daughter) and that they wanted to go to Australia.  That is different from obliviate which destroys the memory and is irreversible.  
> 
> Hermione's parents were muggles and completely defenseless against the death eaters.  How do you think she should have protected them?
> 
> According to JKR, Hermione did find her parents and remove the charm after the war was over.

Kemper:
The parents didn't have access to their original memories regardless if the memories were obliterated or not.

She should have advised her adult parents on the life and death situation she and her folks were in and share with them her idea of them moving to Australia.  Then, respect whatever decision they made.  Magic is not Might.

JKR's statements regarding the books or what happened before or after the books took place may be interesting, but those statements are not canon.
