Krystyna:
Hi, it's my first posting, I would like to say hello to all members 
of this fantastic group (I've been reading for quite some time now). 
I wonder if there are any other members form Poland?..

Krystyna:
It was actually answered later in OOTP. Below please find information 
from HP Lexicon:

"Widdershins, Willy 
A ne'er-do-well fellow who set up a series of regurgitating toilets 
to confound the Muggles. Arthur Weasley spent some time tracking him 
down and hushing up the incidents in question. Willy was caught in 
the explosion of one of the toilets and was captured. He was quite 
badly injured and spent some time heavily bandaged. Willy happened to 
be in the Hog's Head and overheard the first meeting of the DA. He 
reported this to Umbridge and Fudge let him go without prosecution as 
a reward (OP22, OP27).

Krystyna:
As JKR have said somewhere (interview? her website?), Flitwick has 
some goblin blood in him, therefore seems unlikely as an ally with 
pure-blood, human-obsessed Umbridge. Not to mention that we see him 
on many occasions being quite unhelpful towards Umbridge.
