boyd:
Vivian, love this thought. For some time, I've thought a few more 
parent-figures were in danger from JKR's plot, as Jo needed to make 
the children more independent and directly involved. However, I had 
not thought through to the conclusion that Molly's departure would 
enable them to join the OoP.

This leads me to wonder on Hermione's parents. Will Harry and Ron 
become members of the OoP without Hermione? I can't see her parents 
letting her join the group all summer long--so will JKR have them 
endangered to put Hermione in the OoP, as well?

The thing that keeps bothering me about Hermione is that we know so 
little about her back-story. I keep wondering if we're fated to see 
more of that family. Frankly, we know less of importance about them 
than the Longbottoms, yet fewer words have been expended on the 
Grangers. Classic Jo redirection?
