There's always the method Voldemort employed in extracting 
information from the memory-charmed Bertha Jorkins:  torture.  I'm 
sure that he'd be able to get the information from her if he put his 
considerable talents to bear on it.  And that is why I think that 
Dumbledore made sure that she stayed safely within the confines of 
Hogwarts and why Umbridge was instructed to try and get her removed 
from her position.  You know, besides Trelawney being a right old 
fraud and all.
