Muggle-borns and their parents

I want to apologize ahead of time if this has already been 
discussed, but I am new to the list and I just want to throw 
it out there:

What are your thoughts of the parents of muggle-born witches/
wizards concerning their safety and such??  I know that in many 
fanfics there tends to be a common theme of these parents being 
in mortal danger, and also of Hermione not even telling her 
parents about the danger of Death Eaters and Voldemort, etc, so 
as not to alarm them.  It really hasn't been discussed in the 
books, so I often wonder to myself how these parents may come 
into play.  Is it not unrealistic to assume they have some sort 
of immunity from Voldemort's desire for world-domination?

Much appreciated.
