Pippin:
True. A memory charm won't protect the Grangers from an interrogation by LV, and if they should stumble into his clutches the way poor Bertha did, Hermione's plan would fail. But she knows that. The memory charm protects the Grangers, and therefore Hermione herself, by keeping   the DE's from using any information about the Grangers which they already have to locate them or lure them out of hiding.
