sorry to be nitpicky, but isn't 'skiing not my thing' ehrmione's 
excuse for turning up at Christmas, when Harry's thinks everyone 
blames him for Mr Weasley being attacked?  

She never explains why she's been there all summer holidays, helping 
clean the house.  I  do think the theory about her being better 
protected has something in it - but if I  were her parents I'd wonder 
why I never saw my daughter for more than a day ayear!  she's never 
there at Christmas, was barely there of the summer holidays and no 
one leaves at easter.
