Along these lines, I always thought it curious that the Grangers and 
other muggle parents send their children off to wizard boarding school 
without first checking the credentials of the school.  Does Hogwart's 
offer tours to these parents during summer holidays?  If so, how do 
they get there?  Special passes on the knight bus?  That would scare 
any muggle parent from trusting their child to an unknown magic 
society.

I would assume muggle family members of wizardborn would be covered 
under the Muggle Protection Act (MPA).  Doesn't Petunia describe Lily 
in PS/SS practicing magic during summer holidays?  Or was the muggle 
protection act enacted after her tenure at Hogwart's?
If there is such a clause, then Harry performing the patronus charm in 
front of Dudley was doubly covered by escape clauses in the MPA.  If 
there isn't such a clause, then there should be.  How does Hermione 
practice when home for the holidays?
