Valentine's Day.  By then, Harry was able to talk about what happened
when Voldemort came back."

Del replies:
Oh no I don't forget about it! The way many people reacted to this
interview is the proof that, if given a chance to understand the whole
story, quite a few people were really willing to believe Harry. It's a
proof that one major reason nobody wanted to believe Harry at first
was because the story as presented by DD didn't make sense to them.

were welcomed to leave the Hogs Head meeting. None left."

Del replies:
They had other questions to ask and I guess they hoped that Harry
would change his mind if given enough time.

"Marietta must have had a chance to read the Quibbler interview, since
Cho knew about it, she was very proud of Harry's courage to 'open-up'
in public. "

Del replies:
I agree. We're told that everyone at school read the Quibbler article,
so this must include Marrietta. As I said in another post, I think JKR
didn't give us any logical reason for Marrietta to have acted when she
did because Marrietta was never supposed to be anything more than a
plot device. I find that quite frustrating though.
