There must be a certain amount that they're allowed to be told. After 
all when Hermione gets her letter and badge for being Prefect she 
asks Harry if she can borrow Hedwig to tell her parents as this 
is "something they can understand", which gave me the impression that 
the chn are allowd to tell their parents about their life in the WW. 
I for one would like to know how they explain away the owls arriving 
at their home and how do they summon one if they want to send their 
kids something??
