	In THE PRINCE'S TALE, Snape says to Lily that someone from Hogwarts 
would come to her family in person to give them the information. I not 
only suspect that something like this happened with Hermione, but I 
suspect that whoever it was not only prepped Hermione for Hogwarts, but 
told her about Harry Potter, implicitly or explicitly making the 
suggestion that here was someone she should try to make friends with.
