First off, welcome.  Secondly, I'm pretty sure Hermione's parents are 
completely in the dark about all the danger Hermione has been in.  
The fight at the DoM was during school, as has been all the other 
incidents.  

IMO, her parents probably feel that it is best if she is around other 
witches and wizards, explaining why they allow her to spend time 
during the summer with the Weasley's.  

Just my thoughts...
