I cannot imagine that Dumbledore didn't tell the Weasleys.  Their 
daughter was all but killed due to Malfoy's actions, Dumbledore knows 
it, and he's not going to tell?  Even if the Weasleys weren't allies, 
they're parents of a student at his school and he'd have told them.  
I just can't believe otherwise.
