Does their child have to wangle them into Diagon Alley to buy
supplies? If Hermione's dentist dad had his hand bitten off by an
avenging patient, would she (assuming she's 17) be allowed to fix him
using magic a la Madam Pomfrey/Voldemort, or would she be legally
obliged to bung him in a muggle hospital?

Thank you for mentioning this...it's been a thorn in my side as well.
Imagine being a Muggle parent and having an owl deliver a parchment
envelope on your childs' 11th birthday... Hogwart's School of WHAT?!?
Surely there must be a protocol for the school to handle these
cases. Perhaps a "Muggle Liason" office of some kind at the school.
What do you think?
