----------------To me, he's treating Umbridge about the same as every 
other Hogwarts teacher--surface civility with an undercurrent 
of "you're on your own, babe." It WAS a little surprising he did it 
in front of all those Slytherins, though. They seem to have been 
strongly behind Umbridge from the beginning, especially once she 
created her little Inquisition squad. (Is Umbridge Draco's new, 
favorite teacher?)
