I've always wondered if Hermie's parents even know what's going on.  
I think it was Dean (?) who said that he wasn't fool enough to tell 
his parents what goes on at Hogwarts.  Maybe Hermione keeps it all to 
herself, as well.  If they do know, I can't imagine them letting her 
be part of a world where she's such a target.  If I were her mother, 
and had no choice but to let her stay in the WW to keep her safe, I'd 
be right there by her side.  Sort out those priorities and forget the 
dental practice.

Alternatively, if they don't know about LV etc., I still wonder what 
Hermione is telling them in order to be able to spend so much time 
away from home?  That she needs to study?
