I have to say I agree with you as well, when I first read that
Hermione had modified her parents' memories and sent them to
Australia I saw it as a very powerful act of love and protection
for them. It must have been heartbreaking for her to do this to
them but as you say it stopped the grief for them if she didn't
return. It never entered my mind that it was a terrible thing to
do and only made me think of it when I read the posts here.

IMO what Hermione did to her parents just shows how much she
loved them and wanted to protect them.
