Another angle on Hermione's parents

When I first read that part of the book I assumed that Hermione's
parents had agreed to the whole relocation and new identities,
including the mind tampering. I am surprised that everyone assumes
that Hermione did this by force.  The relocation and new identities is
quite logical, and if Hermione explained the mind tampering as an
additional precaution for their (and her) safety, they might well have
agreed.  After all, it was only a short-term measure.

Yes, we can see with 20/20 a totally different picture, but for the
Grangers it may have been like entering a Witness Protection program,
with the promise that after the criminal was finally dealt with, they
could return to their normal lives.
