>>The one in the cloack pretending to be a witch was Mundungus - 
t'was he who reported to Sirius et al. The sneak who got back to 
Umbridge was the heavily bandaged Willy Whats-his-name who cut a deal 
with the ministry over the muggle baiting toilets episode. Check the 
scene in Dumbledores office when Fudge tries to arrest him....<<

>>Yes, but that doesn't explain why Umbridge knew about their plans 
the first time, when she forbid students to form a group. Marietta 
told her way later and Mundungus would hardly have told her. So 
someone else must have done it.<<

Errol again:
I don't quite understand your question. Willy Widdershins was
present at the Hog's Head, heavily bandaged (Harry notices him).
Willy went right back to Umbridge with the news of that meeting, 
prompting Umbridge to ban all student groups immediately.

What Umbridge didn't know was that the meetings still continued 
inspite of her decree, until Marietta sneaked on her group much much 
later. 

Hope that was clearer!
