[Lee]:
Right, Kemper, and if their understanding of the situation was as good as
the Dursleys, and we know she loved her parents a lot more than Harry loved
the Dursleys, she did what she could to protect them and get them the heck
out of the country.

I repeat, if Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who do love their daughter but don't seem
to know a whole lot about the magical world, don't understand the danger to
themselves or Hermione, and since Hermione's of age in the Magical world,
Hermione feels duty-bound to protect those she loves in whatever way she
can, and protect herself, too.
