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?


vmonte responds:

I think you are right about Hermione's parents.  It would make sense 
that the DEs would target the families of the trio.  Especially, if 
they cannot get to the trio.
