Random832:
Well...canon says, I believe, that Umbridge is intercepting the post. 
So, how could she have gone to her mother? Hell, as far as that goes 
canon doesn't ACTUALLY say she _didn't_ go to her mother. Imagine this: 
She writes a letter to her mother - saying she's worried about stuff, 
etc; sufficiently vague as to not trigger the curse. Umbridge reads it. 
Then Umbridge wants to have a little 'talk' with Marietta, and, in that 
situation, how many of you can say you wouldn't cave into the kind of 
threats we know Umbridge is capable of making?
