> 2. Umbridge's quill made me sick. I can't even believe JKR thought of it-
whoa. I still think Harry should have gone to DD- what would the ministry
say about that? It's okay for her to inflict physical harm upon the
students? I don't think so. Isn't that why they stopped using the chains and
everything?

Well, if I'm recalling correctly, Filch was very happy towards the end of
the book because he more or less could punish the students any way he
wanted, meaning that it was ok to use whips and chains again.  In light of
that, I have the feeling that if someone had gone to the Ministry about this
quill, nothing would have been done (unless the someone was Lucius Malfoy).
