Canon please. Where does it say that she did this 'without their knowledge  
or consent'? For all we know she may have sat them down and explained the whole 
 situation to them, presented her plan, and got their consent (even if they 
would  have forgotten about it after she cast the spell[s]).

This is exactly what I think Hermione did. Hermione says that she has told  
her parents "quite a lot about" Harry---and I don't think it was just this past 
 summer. Hermione writes and talks with her parents. She is the only one we 
see  writing letters home. They discuss fixing her teeth by magic, even though 
they  don't allow her to stop wearing braces. 
 
They, in turn, allow her to spend more time with the Weasley's and Harry.  
They know what kind of daughter they have--very bright, magical, and determined. 
 This plan may have been the best compromise they could reach that would keep 
 them safe. Like it or not, Muggles have little protection against magical  
attack.
