Alla:

If you don't mind, kindly explain what "pshaw" means.

By "personal gain" I understand something that will benefit Marietta, 
being in Umbridge's good graces would benefit Marietta, no?

So, I repeat my question. Do we know that Marietta did not want to be 
in Umbridge good graces?

Umbridge would have expelled all of them, no?

NOT bein expelled is a personal gain for Marietta, since getting an 
education is at least a way to get a better carrier than without such 
in WW, no?

So, yes, I see plenty of POSSIBLE personal gain for Marietta to 
betray DA besides getting a pony.

JMO,
