David said, "I'm tellin ya, she's a Death Eater. Umbridge plays by no rules
and
that makes her a candidate for DE. Voldemort has more up his sleeves
than the Malfoys, Wormtail and a few others. Imagine having a spy in
the Ministry. She's with the dark side. Ship her to Azkaban."

Me: Hello, yet another new list member popping up to give her two cents
worth.  I have to agree with this, not only did Umbridge try and turn
Hogwarts into a police state with herself as the head dictator, her version
of detention for both Harry and later Lee Jordan is nothing more than abuse.
My mother and I were discussing the "special" quill Umbrage had the students
use in detention and both of us can't understand how the damage it caused
was overlooked.  Harry leaves his later detentions with blood dripping off
his hand. It left scars as we see later in the book (I can't remember the
exact page or chapter but I do remember mention of the thin white scars on
his hand).  If that quill isn't a dark artefact or at least filled with Dark
Magic I don't know what is.

And another thing, Umbrage used veritaserum when she tried to interrogate
Harry, he just didn't drink it.  Isn't that on the side of illegal in the
wizarding world? I thought use of veritaserum was a major no no unless you
were under arrest or something.

The fact she sent the dementors after Harry seems to me to be an offense
that should be punishable by incarceration at azkaban no matter what her
motives are.  But like other folks that have thrown out their opinions I
think she's at least being heavily manipulated by Voldemort.  I apologize if
this has already been discussed, I've been reading through the messages and
archives but so far haven't found a thing about that quill and it just
totally made me cringe.  That bloomin' thing is evil!
