Finwitch:

Most likely she _read_ about it. You know how Hermione is, reading 
about things. In all those history books Harry was mentioned, for 
example. She mentions several books where Harry's mentioned as she 
meets him. (And why would Harry be mentioned, if the book did not 
mention Voldemort?)

She also had already spoken to several people...

But indeed, why does SHE fear to speak out Voldemort's name so? I 
mean really, fear for the evil person, OK, but fear for speaking out 
his name?

Harry speaks it, and hesitates only because it upsets people. And 
he's MET Voldemort in person - so I think Harry has a very good idea 
as to what he's like...
