uath50:
Did anyone find it strange that Umbridge was not sent to prison for 
sending the dementors after Harry?
I thought that maybe she should have at least lost her job at the 
MOM or sent to Azkaban.

Geoff:
Interesting question is: who knows that she sent them? This is one 
of those snippets of information which may come out of the woodwork 
to trouble the dear lady in the future....

It does seem likely that Hermione, at least, would think to tell
someone what they heard Umbridge say.

Potioncat:
Well, we have the same situation as we did when the Trio knew Black
was innocent. Who will believe them? It's unlikely the Slytherins
would support Hermione's story.

This is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right.  :)

It wasn't until this topic came up that I thought about Umbridge
and her punishment.  I would think that being taken by the Centaurs 
is more than enough punishment.  In the hospital wing, she appears 
to be visibly and mentally disturbed.  

As for exposing Umbridge for sending the Dementors after Harry, I 
have to agree with Potioncat that no one will believe them besides 
maybe Dumbledore and the Order.  The MOM will be bombarded with 
messages and problems dealing with Voldemort so at this point, I 
don't think Umbridge would be a priority.  I don't think
Hermione would even try to tell someone like Fudge or a Ministry 
member who's not an Order member because she knows they wouldn't 
believe a teenage student.  Instead, she may use that information to 
her advantage.  Just think of what she did with Rita.
