Actually, yes. Remember what she [Hermione] said when she got her 
Prefect badge ? She said (paraphrase) that prefect was a concept her 
parents could understand. I remember I was shocked the first time I 
read it, especially by what it implied : that her parents couldn't 
understand the rest of her life. How so ?? Is it because she doesn't 
explain things to them, because they are not interested in knowing 
her wizarding life, or because she *thinks* they couldn't understand 
anyway ? 

Bookworm:
Has anyone ever tried to explain a complicated scientific concept to 
someone who isn't good at science (or the reverse - heard an 
explanation from a scientist who can't speak non-science)?  
Hermione's parents are dentist (scientists).  I find it easy to 
imagine they have trouble understanding magical conecpts.  
Expecially if Hermione get wrapped up in the details and doesn't 
explain things well.
