Good lord, Harrys parents are very good at this parenting gig.
The combo of the intellectual and the emotional appeal, in particular is a thing of beauty.
Let us see; Quite a few options were taken off the table in this chapter in particular because noone was missing, which rules out all the "substitute someone else" gambits people kept suggesting in a really impressive display of etics fail.
So Hermione got up and left. Or her body was absconded with. Correction: if she got up under her own power, she was most likely still absconded with, as otherwise she would have let people know she was mobile. I mean, even if she wanted to keep the world thinking she was dead to avoid further attempts on her life, she would want to tell Harry.
Possibilities;
Quirrell hid the body. On the grounds that Harry would find it difficult to do anything stupid without a body to do anything stupid to.
Snape. Yes, I am still on about the oxygenating potion. Exotica in bottles is what he does, and heck, he even uses "put a stopper in death" as an example of what a master potioner can do. In which case, he is keeping her incommunicado to avoid whoever is responsible finishing the job with fiendfire.
Harry: Stasised the body, and hid it to avoid burial, autopsy, ect.
Good catch.

In fact, perhaps Harry replaced the body, and them someone else stole a copy.
Just a thought.
I had considered that he might have left behind the functional equivalent of that death* doll.
I had considered that someone might have taken her body (the very first possibility to occur to me).
I had not yet considered that he might have replaced the body and someone else stole the fake. If nothing else, I would not expect it to stand up to scrutiny. But damn, I really need to update on the basis of:
I had thought he'd Transfigured the doll into existence from something commonly found in mortuaries.
