   Her backstory imo is shallow for a definite reason. Her history has   
   little to nothing to do with Hermione as The Brain, the Intellect, the   
   Mind. MOF, an argument could be made that claims Hermione's backstory   
   would be distracting; distracting away from her purpose as Ms. Rowling   
   uses her to target the uselessness of the Mind in one's search/seek   
   for your soul.   
      
   The flip side would be Ron, our Earthman; his backstory is vital to   
   who he is (and vital to the cohesiveness of the story in general of   
   course) and it is full and detailed.   
      
   It is my contention that Ms. Rowling's intentions here are clear. When   
   someone chooses to ignore the obvious, there is usually a very   
   poignant reason.
