I think it can make a huge difference if Grangers will read about Hermione being caught and tortured by DE for example if they are pretending to be someone else, OR if they would read that imaginary tale planted by DE to make them come out and save their daughter when they truly **believe** that they are somebody else
rick:
The real problem about Hg's parents is that TDL and DEs might try to use 
torturing them to get to HP through her.  They'd already demonstrated 
(DH) that they'd kidnap kids to put pressure on parents.  But then they 
reverse tactics by trying to kidnap Neville's grandmother to put 
pressure on him (DH, The Lost Diadem). 

Hg's parents were more vulnerable than regular wizarding parents because 
they had no powers, no experience in the WW, nor any knowledge of the 
reach of the powers of TDL.  Sitting ducks, come to mind. 

The trio could never sit by and allow Hg's parents be tortured.  The 
trio'd try to rescue them.
