   Ron's line, "Have you gone mad? Are you a witch or
aren't you?" is one of my favorites in the whole
series.
   Actually it's very simple to explain why Hermione
forgot she didn't need wood to make a fire - or
Harry's forgetting to use a summoning spell to get his
golden egg back.
   Both have been raised as Muggles, which means both
have Muggle rather than Wizardly instincts. Under
pressure H&H tend to forget their magical powers
because they are frankly not accustomed to having them.
