Karen again:

Oh I totally agree that she is unable to wreak further havoc *now*, 
but I think she had already destroyed Harry's written exam at the 
time of his practical.  Hence her gloating look.  "You may have 
surpassed yourself in the practical, Boy, but without the written 
paper you can only get a maximum of half-marks".

If his written paper was not submitted for marking, no matter how 
out of influence Umbridge may now be, there's nothing anyone can do 
about it other than for Harry to do a re-sit in either November if 
WW is the same as RL or else the following year with Ginny's class.  
And that's making the assumption that you are allowed another chance 
in WW.  Incidentally he would have to re-take both the written and 
practical if this follows RL.
