Frug says:
Yeah, add me to the ranks of those who believe she keeps them 
largely in the dark. Actually, I think it might be one more example 
of Hermione's arrogance and mothering tendencies, just like her 
knowing what's best for the house elves and taking care of Harry and 
Ron. I'd imagine she thinks of it as protecting them from worry. 

Actually, I doubt she's ever warned her parents or considered the 
possible targets they might be to the Death Eaters. I wonder if it 
isn't a parallel scenario to Lily Evans and what happened to Harry's 
grandparents...
