Geoff:
You are overlooking the fact that, although the "Quibbler" may be 
the "Sun" or something similar in the Wizarding World, the return of 
Voldemort had been trumpeted in the "Prophet" which is much more 
equivalent to the "Times" or "Daily Telegraph" which are the UK big 
guns broadsheets and would be listened to and read by a much wider 
and more discerning readership.
