Mus:
And it gets worse.  There are other characters in the series who have
had their memories modified.  It's pretty certain that those memories
will not need to retrieved as evidence, but it really seems canon that
the only cases we have in canon of memory modification and subsequent
retrieval result in the fairly rapid death of the subject.  

Hermione's parents are trapped childless in Australia as Wendell and
Monica Wilkins, or they die when she restores their identities.  Does
Hermione have any idea what she has done?

Does her creator?

Mus, who's so shocked she can hardly type.
