Jenny from Ravenclaw:Why do you think that? I never felt that Harry
feared Umbridge; he hated her. She made him angry, not afraid. I'd
have to say the same for Draco; he hates Harry, especially now that
Harry has helped land Lucius in Azkaban. Draco wants revenge, not to
run away crying from Harry."

You are right. Harry loathes and despises Umbridge, not fears her, as
you said, especially now she's lost her power over him. Buttercup may
have it right that Harry's boggart would be dead Sirius, or the
doorwaay of the dead in the Dept. of Mysteries. OTOH, boggarts seem to
show people what they fear and not their grief, or Neville would have
seen his parents, not Snape.

The Harry as Draco's boggart thing was tongue-in-cheek, actually,
although Draco has reason to fear Harry now. Draco must be afraid of
his world coming apart now that Daddy is locked up. This is the first
time Draco's really smelled ultimate defeat. But I agree, the hatred
is there and stronger than ever.
