OOP: Grangers

I've always aksed myself how Hermione's parents can accept the new 
strange life of their daughter.

Then last night I saw 'Little Buddha' by italian master Bernardo 
Bertolucci, a film about a boy from a Western couple which is found 
to be the reincarnation of a great Buddhist Lama. They accept the 
fate of their children,even if it's carrying the boy away from them, 
both physically and spiritually, in a world they doesn't belong and 
they can't understand. Substitute the buddhist monks with a letter 
and a wizardry school and you'll have the granger's situation, they 
however are very intelligent and understanding people, just like the 
parents of the boy who finds himself being the reincarnation of a 
Lama.

P.S.
I'll never forgive Snape, even after Book Fourteen,  for the horrific 
thing he said about Hermy's teeths in GoF. Do you think what it means 
saying so to a fourteen years old girl which is sure about her 
brains, but little more that? It would have wrecked havoc on her just 
born femininity!
