I've been interested by the ideas about Hermione's parents, but
personally I prefer to invoke Occum's Razor on this one:

I've been re-listening to _OOtP_ in a "countdown" to _HBP_'s release,
and in Chapter 11 (P 219, American Ed.), Dean Thomas says, "My parents
are Muggles... They don't know nothing about no deaths at Hogwarts,
because I'm not stupid enough to tell them."

I'm imagining Hermione (and other Muggle-borns) silently adopting
the same policy, lest their Muggle parents panic and "go Dursley"
on them.
