[Lee]:
I don't know...there are times we need to do things to protect those we love
which might seem a bit over the line, so to speak, and sometimes a lot over
the line.  If her folks don't have a real comprehension of the danger, her
actions might have been the only way she could think to protect them, get
them out of harm's way, and know they'd be safe until such time as either
Voldemort was dead or she could find a way to join them.

I believe she loves her folks a lot and would do anything to ensure their
safety even if it means resorting to some "heavy-duty" methods.  Also, if
her parents had been caught by Voldemort's minions, they wouldn't be able to
give away her whereabouts.

Hope I'm making sense.
