In addition, ... even if Umbridge has somehow managed to fail Harry in DADA, I think Dumbledre and the staff at Hogwarts would fight to get his grade changed to something more realistic."

Also, remember that during the exam Harry produced a Patronus Charm which was witnessed by several examiners and other students. So Umbridge would have had to not only control one of the examiners but erase the minds of the others as well."



 

Now Fitzov:

Good point about the witnesses, but I still don't think that Wizard Justice seems very reliable.  If Sirius could be sent to prison without a trial, then I suspect there might also be no forum for grades' appeal.

And even if Umbridge has now been completely discredited, there is no reason why she should not have sowed the seeds of Harry's future troubles well before her fall from grace.  Why else would Umbridge have been smiling having just apparently witnessed Harry achieving an 'Outstanding' in his DADA OWL?

We may have seen the last of Umbridge herself, but I don't think it is the last we will hear of her legacy.
