Alla:

Hmm, why do you think that Umbridge would definitely had a chance to 
look the letter over ? Are you saying that it would have happened 
before Persy sent the letter or that it would be interposed in 
Hogwarts?

If you are arguing that it would be interposed in Hogwarts and Persy 
would foresaw such possibility then I would say that for him the 
best cause of action would be well, not to send ANY letter. Unless 
of course  you are arguing that the letter contains some kind of 
secret message to Ron. If it is your argument, I would ask you to 
clarify what kind of message it contained, because I cannot figure 
out any.

I would not exclude the possibility that Persy in his mind was 
looking out for Ron by telling him to stay away from Harry, but 
well, it does not make him to be any less of the git to me.

Again, could you clarify, please? Are you saying that Hermione was 
supposed to figure out some kind of hidden message in the letter?

Alla, :

Personally I like Ron more than Hermione (Hermione is a very 
well written character, but I can like her only as part of the Trio) 
and cannot figure out massive dislike of Ron myself.


JMO,

Alla.
