In defense of Minerva McGonagall: She supported Harry in a very 
underhanded way. Twice she offered him biscuits immediately after she 
berated him, and told him to not openly oppose the MoM. I have no doubt 
that Gryffindors have learned to read their head of house pretty well and 
to understand her "code". She tried to protect the students as best she 
could, with a better understanding of the threat Umbridge poses, than the 
kids have.
