YES!!!  I am dying to find out more about Hermione's parents: how 
they live?  Will we ever have the opportunity to read Harry and Ron 
visiting her house?  And how does Crookshanks behave in the house on 
summer holidays?  I have this image that everything is perfect, but 
that it won't be soon, causing Hermione to have a break down because 
everything is out of wack at home (and school due to Voldemort.)

She never talks about home either.  The only insight we've had of 
her parents are in CoS, but Arthur/JKR conveniently whisked them 
away so Harry cannot get to know them better in turn not letting us 
get to know them better.  And then in GoF, when she says they want 
her to use braces for her teeth.  Could this possibly be a clue in 
CoS for future books?  Now that the WW is "under attack" will they 
become more involved in Hermione's schooling.  Could they perhaps 
not let Hermione go back to school because of what has happened in 
GoF?  Do they not know that she is safer at Hogwarts under 
Dumbledore's (and the rest of the staff's) protection?   I'm sure 
Voldemort wouldn't mind killing her parents, say burn down the 
house, so he could kidnap Hermione and let muggles think that they 
whole family burned with the house (no evidence, unless he wants to 
cause mass confusion/destruction).  Then Harry and Ron, heck 
everyone at this point, would have to go out and look for her.  
Voldemort would no doubt use someone very close to Harry to lure him 
back to try to kill him again.
