Marcela here:
I believe that Madam Pomfrey *did* know what type of jinx had been
used, after all Umbridge and McGonagall (and Cho) know that the spots
showed up the moment Marietta started 'singing' -it was implied that
McGonagall took care of Marietta after DD flew away 'with style'.
I strongly believe that Madam Pomfrey just didn't want to fix
Marietta's face, same as Flitwick and McGonagall didn't want to fix
the swamp, or put out the twins fire crackers... they were sort
of 'boycotting' the new regime and its supporters, LOL. Do you
think that McGonagall would not have asked Harry (or Hermione) what
was that jinx about if she had 'wanted' to get Marietta better?
Don't forget about them being wizards and witches, jinxes happen all
the time and they can be solved -not like curses and/or powerful
spells, which could probably not be fixable.
Del replies :
> Sure ! And why not reinstate the Red Letter for adulterous women
while we're at it ?! Marrietta, a 15-year-old girl, has had to keep
those monstruous pustules for more than 2 full months !!
Marcela here:
Honestly! That comparison is just waaayyy out there... While what
was done back then to adulterous women was an injustice, the jinx
that Marietta got is not, in War times everybody needs to know whom
are the traitors, if not you could end up like Lily and James, and
BTW the DA members barely got away, if it hadn't been for
Dumbledore's sacrifice they would all probably have been expelled.
As for Marietta not remembering because of Kingsley's Obliviate
curse, I'm sure that Cho and other DA Ravenclaws had to have updated
her.
