I checked "other" because of Madam Marchbanks.

In OoP ch. 15 is the Daily Prophet article about Dolores Umbridge's
appointment as Hogwarts High Inquisitor.  I'll quote the end of the
article:
-------------------------------------------------------
Wizengamot elders Griselda Marchbanks and Tiberius Ogden have resigned
in protest at the introduction of the post of Inquisitor to Hogwarts.

"Hogwarts is a school, not an outpost of Cornelius Fudge's office,"
said Madam Marchbanks.  "this is a further disgusting attempt to
discredit Albus Dumbledore." (For a full account of Madam Marchbanks'
alleged links to subversive goblin groups, tun to page 17).
-----------------------------------------------------------

Not to mention that we find out in ch. 31 ("O.W.L.S") that Griselda
Marchbanks (a.k.a. Professor Marchbanks) is the very elderly head of
the Wizarding Examinations Authority.

Count on it: Madam Marchbanks is working with the goblins at
Dumbledore's behest.  (FWIW, I'll even say she was one of the elderly
witches who waved to Dumbledore at Harry's hearing.)
