[Alina responds]:
| I don't know, I myself get the impression that Hermione is getting
| estranged. It actually surprised me that Hermione is spending several
| summers in a row with the Weasleys (with the Order in book 5). I
| mean, if my
| daughter was going to a boarding school, I'd want her home for
| the holidays.

[Lee]:
Well, in GOF, Hermione was at the Weasleys because she was going to the
World Cup and had only gotten there the same day as Harry or the night
before.  Plus, she's always sending packages home as in when she gets those
tooth-flossing string mints that she knows her folks would like. :-)  Ad to
that, they (the whole Granger family) was more than willing to send a care
package to Harry in the summer.

As for OOTP, perhaps Mrs. Weasley or someone begged Hermione's parents to
allow her to go to the HQ, knowing that when they brought Harry in he would
need some friendly faces.

I think that, if there's going to be strain, it's going to happen in the
next two books, but at the moment, no.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
