Some questions to throw atcha

 "Mindy, a.k.a. CLH" asked:
 
2) How do you think, do Hermione's parents take all
this magic &  wizardry from their daughter? Can they
keep their mouths shut & not share it 
with the  muggle world? Do they feel 'inferior' b/c
they're 'muggles'? (I definitely feel like a muggle!)
Do they feel bad for their daughter 
that she's a mudblood? Do you think they're on to all
the escapades she is involved in at school?

~Chris, the Icicle Child~ responded:

Prolly not. If you were Hermione, would you tell your
parents even
*half* of the stuff you got into at Hogwarts?

"My first year was a blast! I was almost killed by
this ogre and nearly eaten by a three-headed hound
from Hell. My second year was a little fuzzy; that was
the year a Basilisk turned me to stone.

*snip*

Actually, I'm kind of curious as to how the school
dealt with this situation. I can see why Dumbledore
wouldn't want to let all muggle parents know that
there's something going around the school Petrifying
muggle-born students but, hey, no one has actually
died yet, this time.  I can just imagine the rush of
owls as parents demand for their students to be
returned home.  But do you let the parents of the kids
who were attacked know?  How much do you tell them if
you do?  Do the parents have a right to know? (I think
they do, but then, I've dealt with overreacting
parents at  soccer games.  I can't even imagine what
the reaction would be to an actual emergency.)  IIRC,
all the kids came back the next year, so did
Dumbledore dispatch staff members to talk to the
parents and explain that the problem really had been
dealt with?

P.S.  Thanks to Heidi, Gwendolyn Grace and Susanna for
all of the insights on Lucius.  I'm now examining his
character more closely than I've ever examined a
character for a school assignment.
