>>McGonical and Umbridge?

I thought McGonical stepped  back from shock at the "loyalty" remark; 
for me that had such echoes of the  last time Voldermort tried to take 
over that I am sure she took it the same  way. When viciously punishing 
students comes under the heading "loyalty to  the minister" then things 
are very, very wrong.

Perhaps McGonical had  tried not to see how bad things were until 
Umbridge rubbed her face in  it.

That's exactly how I saw it.  McGonagall was going to  stand up for her 
students, possibly help someone new to teaching realize that  her methods were 
"over the top" and was suddenly slapped in the face with the  viciousness that's 
being CONDONED by the Ministry!!  That would take anyone  aback, and that's why 
she took a step down with a look of sheer horror on her  face, IMO.
