LizVega here:

I thought it was insane that she just left the castle after her 
stint in the hospital ward, with zero ramifications for her actions 
concerning Harry,and the running in the school.

If we do ever hear from her again- I think she sounds like the 
perfect scapegoat for Fudge. Wasn't she his undersecretary before 
coming to Hogwarts? If the president of the US is in trouble it's 
not unlikely that he will look to place blame on the VP- is the WW 
any different? Who knows that she sent the Dementors after Harry? 
Only the people in her office that night they went to the MOM? Or, 
does DD know? If DD knows, as he knows everything, I find it hard to 
believe that he wouldn't report that to Fudge. She sent DEMENTORS 
after a student, and not just any student, but Harry Potter. I think 
in book 6, Fudge is going to be spending a lot of time trying to 
keep his job- he'll need to blame somebody, or 'poor information' on 
somebody. She's his scapegoat. He can say that not only did she send 
the dementors after Harry- but she also fed him false information- 
which is why he didn't know that LV was really back. That's what I 
think will happen....

What do I hope will happen?

Everything stated above...plus a nice healthy stay in Azkaban- 
unfortunately- she'll be meeting some Death Eater's in there won't 
she? After being disgraced by Fudge, and sent to the clink, it makes 
sense that she'll go where she's wanted- somewhere 'power' 
and 'torture' are in the job description. 

Just my thoughts....but something has to happen to her- the clip 
clopping just wasn't punishment enough for me.
