And she was criticizing Amos Diggory's cold treatment of Harry
because of the Rita Skeeter's article, just moments before she met
Hermione and gave her the cold shoulder herself. I think the irony
is intentional and it shows us that people react more emotionally
when it comes to the persons or things they care about. After all,
being a MoM official, Diggory should've been familiar with Skeeter's
usual twisting of facts as well.
