It just occurred to me, if Myrtle's parents WERE Muggles, *could* 
they come to Hogwarts to collect her body?  Hermione says that 
Hogwarts is protected by charms to make it look like an abandoned 
old ruin to any Muggle who comes around.  In special cases, could 
those charms be lifted to permit access to a Muggle?  We've seen 
Hermione's parents at Diagon Alley, so some wizarding locations are 
accessible to Muggles, but what would happen if they wanted to come 
to Hogwarts?  I wonder, has any Muggle ever come to Hogwarts?
