The same thought occurred to me while rereading CoS, where the 
Grangers get a close look at the ugly side of the wizarding world, 
in the shape of the very malevolent Lucius Malfoy.  They're 
naturally frightened, and it seems to me that they must wonder what 
sort of risks they're running, sending their young daughter off 
alone to face this sort of prejudice.
