James:
Myself, I think it was just Dumbledore being his shrewd self. He
suspected that Fudge might try something like changing the time or
venue, perhaps he even suspected that they might bring out the full
Wizengamot against him. As for his comment about his mistake, I think
it was rather like his confrontation with Lucius in CoS - "One would
hope no more of Lord Voldemort's school things end up in innocent
hands" (or something to that effect) - not directly accusational, but
it gets his point across.
