Lisa:

It would've only taken a sentence to say how Harry got the Marauder's 
Map back after Moody borrowed it, but it happened, whether we were told 
about it or not.  Like you also said, Hermione's not one to explain -- 
just as you think Hermione wouldn't have explained anything to her 
parents (sure makes her sound cold and calculating and hateful to me), 
I think she would've explained to them ... but I don't think she'd've 
necessarily told Harry & Hermione every last detail of the painful 
experience of convincing them.
