> As for the Azkaban question.  Yes, I believe that sending Harry to 
Azkaban was a very real threat.  Here is why.  The very people trying 
to silence Harry by sending Dementors after him in the first place are 
the very ones holding the trial.  Umbridge sent the Dementors and since 
she works for Fudge, it may have been on his orders.  

Hickengruendler:

No, it wasn't. Umbridge did this on her own. She said so in the 
chapter "Out of the Fire", in response to Hermione telling her, that 
Fudge wouldn't like if Umbridge Crucioed Harry. The answer was: "What 
Cornelius doesn't know, won't hurt him". And then she admitted, that 
she sent the Dementors and that Fudge didn't know about this, either. 
Sadly I haven't the book with me to tell you the page, but it 
definitely is in the book. Fudge did not know about Umbridge sending 
the Dementors, and therefore Percy to 99% didn't know either.
