Is it possible that the Ministry uses a bit of deduction in catching
underage magic? After all, the falling pudding was made to do so by
Dobby, but it just happened to occur at the registered home of one
Harry Potter.
Same with the dementors--in Harry's neighborhood, but
the MoM did not seem to know that the Dementors were there.
The only reason the Ministry would know HP performed the Cruciatus curse
is if Bella told (and she's not telling) or if HP revealed it, after
all, there were over a dozen there at the time. If they didnt know
who smashed the pudding or why HP did the Patronus, how could they
know that he did the Cruciatis?
