Ceridwen:
If I was Hermione's mother and she told me she was going to mind-wipe me "for my own protection" or whatever, I'd nod and smile and break her wand the minute I had the chance.  If I was angry enough I'd evict her from my house and tell her not to darken my door again until I'd calmed down, which might take a few months at least.  I would be angry and disappointed and hurt.  Especially hurt, to think that my kid thought so little of me.
