Eddie:
It's really too bad Harry didn't go to Dumbledore, because DD wouldn't
have brushed off the scars on the back of Harry's hand.  As we saw
later in the book, when Umbridge got angry at Marietta and shook her
(I don't remember the actual wording), Dumbledore was around his desk
in a flash and said something like, "I will not allow you to harm one
of my students."

Dumbledore, even one trying to not show favoritism to Harry in OotP,
would have found a way to put an end to this torture of a thousand
cuts.  And torture it was.
