Minor point: It doesn’t occur to anyone that Hermione might not be the only student who’s missing?
It’s known that other students are missing; most of them are assumed to be locked in their common rooms, and the teachers are searching for the rest. Harry is uniquely concerned with Hermione because he (correctly) anticipates an assassination attempt on her.
