I've wondered about this as well, and as my editions aren't very 
recent, I can't check to see whether it has been changed.
If it is written correctly, then it seems to me that Fudge is 
dismissing something he has had knowledge of - therefore he doesn't 
deem it to be of any significance.  In which case - why?

I haven't been here for long myself, so I can't verify whether this 
has been discussed before.  However, IIRC, I don't think that it came 
up in the Chapter 36 discussions a few weeks ago?

Can anyone clarify what it says in a later edition?
