> Imagine that your child is in danger -- is there something that was yours to
give that you wouldn't give to save her?

Ceridwen:
Convince me that my daughter would be in danger if I did not give this thing. 
We're not talking clothes or a car, we're talking a lifetime of memories. I
wouldn't want my child taken from me, that includes the memories I have of this
child. <SNIP>


Alla:

The idea that without such memory charm you are much more likely to break under torture and give out to Death Eaters everything you know about your child's whereabouts is what would have convinced me to agree to it.  See, Kemper called Hermione selfish for doing it upthread, I would have called Hermione's parents pretty selfish if they would not have agreed. It is about their daughter's life too, right?
