WG*:

Agree 100% with what Catherine said but in particular that Umbridge 
takes her work for the Ministry very personally (a bit like Percy, 
perhaps?)and having been 'alarmed' and annoyed at Harry's remarked, 
wanted to keep a closer eye on him - catch him out, maybe?
Something however that seems less probable, IMO, is where does she 
get the free time from?
Fair enough every teacher probably has 'free periods/lessons' or 
whatever, but that many? Is it then more likely that these 
inspections did happen in intervals of say a week or two? 

A thoughtful WG*
