Underage Use of Magic

Myself, I could see the MoM taking the attitude that magical children
growing up in a family with at least one adult witch or wizard (parents,
grandparents, what-have-you) don't need as close supervision as those
growing up in an all-Muggle environment such as the Dursleys'.  I
mean---we're meant to feel for the Muggle-borns, but they can't all be
angels, now can they?  Can you imagine Dudley Dursley with magical powers
and no MoM oversight?  The kid's enough of a juvenile delinquent as it is!
He'd be terrorizing the neighborhood _and calling attention to the fact that
the WW exists,_ and he'd be a loose cannon on deck.

The Weasley children have magical parents, so it would be difficult in any
case for the MoM to monitor their home, but someone like an altnernate, evil
Hermione Granger could get up to all sorts of evil shenanigans with magic
over the holidays.
