Oh, certainly the WW seems backward in a lot of ways. But for none of
the adults to even *acknowledge* what happened to Harry?  That's...
well, for a lack of a better word, contemptible.  You say the WW
deplores Umbridge, but I certainly see no sign of them deploring what
happened to Harry.  Even McGonnagall, who has special
responsibilities in this instance, lets it go without so much as
a "Sorry about that, Potter."  Once again, I don't think contemptible
is too strong a word.
