I really don't think a lot of that got out to the public.  I 
seriously doubt Umbridge's group of patrolling students would say 
anything about the little they do know of, and I don't remmber 
Harry telling anybody about the rest (like who sent the dementors).

I did find JKR's explanation of Umbridge's character very 
interesting.  (She said Umbridge was the sort that supports what 
ever system is in power.)  She comes across a little more committed than merely supporting whomever is in power.
