[HPforGrownups] Reasons for reading--Muggle born wizards

Your explanation sounds good to me. The Grangers seem like they would be open minded about Hogwarts. Others might not be and would need a visitor. I think Hagrid personally came to Harry for this reason and also that he rescued him as a baby from his ruined home.

  Reading the books: 

  I started reading the books because I was assigned the
  first two for Children's lit. I didn't have to buy any
  other ones, because the teacher didn't want us to have
  to buy hardbacks. But I had extra money on me after
  buying my books and SS only cost me 15 bucks (the
  Barnes and Noble discount plus, I think, a discount
  because it was the school bookstore). 

  Man, I tore through that book. And we didn't have to
  read it till April. I read the first one three times
  until Spring Break, when I got the money for the other
  four, all hardback. (Good thing it only cost me about
  45 bucks.) Then I bought QA with money I earned and FB
  was bought by my mom for me. 


  Muggle Borns and accepting it: 

  I haven't really thought about it, but I'm thinking
  that the parents are visited by either the teachers or
  another family. Or maybe there's a department in the
  Muggle liason area (What's that department? I forget)
  that deals with nothing but muggle-born wizards and
  their adjustment. I think I'll take that approach in
  my fic. As for the letters, I think they're delivered
  by owl (And scare/shock/unnerver the parents) and have
  an additional note inside that explains that a member
  of the ministry will be there to speak to them and
  explain the situation.
