Now Cory:

Is it really?  Fudge is Lucius Malfoy's puppy dog, and he spent most 
of OotP trying to discredit Harry and Dumbledore in the Wizarding 
World.  Umbridge sent two dementors to Privet Drive to attack Harry, 
and that was the first of many evil things she did in OotP.  Both of 
them seem very Death Eater-like to me.

Granted, it would not shock me to learn that both of them are *not* 
DEs either, but I certainly don't think it's such a leap to argue 
that they could be.

Sorry to snip so much; I really can't respond to this entire post 
right now (and the current participants in the thread are doing a 
great job anyway).  I just had to respond to this one point.

Best,
