When did Fudge change his mind?

Fudge's reaction to the possibility of LV's return was expected by Dumbledore, but seems to go against something he said in PA10: "I must say, You-Know-Who alone and friendless is one thing...but give him back his most devoted servant [meaning Black], and I shudder to think how quickly he'll rise again...."
 
18 months later, when Dumbledore mentions LV's return to power, and Black still out, he says "You-Know-Who returns? Preposterous. Come now, Dumbledore..."[GF36] And when Umbridge brings Harry to Dumbledore after the DA was almost caught, Fudge says "Or is there the usual simple explanation involving a reversal of time, a dead man [Voldemort] coming back to life, and a couple of invisible dementors?", each of those being considered impossible.
