Hermione knew  about that potion?  It's also very interesting that 
Harry will  recommend it to Lee Jordan who will tell the twins 
(Weasley twins not  the Snape twins) about it and it will be used 
in one of their  snackboxes.<

Maybe McGonagall told her? Or even Snape? I think Harry and 
Ron would curl up and die if they knew how much Hermione tells 
the teachers she trusts.

I think McGonagall knew what Umbridge was doing with the quill. 
And Harry should have reported it...even if there wasn't much that 
could be done. But  what could McGonagall, or even 
Dumbledore, have done then? Umbridge is far too clever to be 
caught in the act. If accused she would deny everything and say 
that Harry himself had scratched those words into his 
hand--which is true in a way, so I doubt even a legilimens could 
shake her story.  Fudge would believe her since he thinks Harry 
is disturbed. And wouldn't he just love to question Harry under 
veritaserum--there's no way the Order can risk that.
