the Weasleys clearly  don't know anything about it or they'd have said so, 
as would Neville's  formidable grandmother. As for Xenophilius Lovegood, who 
would believe  anything that the editor of the Quibbler said even if Luna 
reported it to him?  And the parents of the Inquisitorial Squad students 
aren't likely to complain  to the MoM that one of its members sent Dementors 
after Harry Potter--or that  she (SNIP)

Not bringing up a sensitive subject with Harry is something the elder  
Weasleys do a lot.   Ron has told his parents many things about  Harry's life, 
but neither talks to Harry about them - the lack of meals, being  locked in 
his room, no birthday celebrations, etc.  - they know about all  this but 
they never discuss it with him. They just treat him with extra  kindness. 
Even if the Umbridge incidents were merely front page news of  the 
Quibbler, people now knew Lovegood got the facts right once in a while  as a result 
of defying the ministry and printing Harry's interview. Someone  somewhere 
would believe it and question it. 
I know I'm fighting a losing battle here as  everything I've written would 
have happened off the page and therefore  can't possibly have ever happened 
(poor James! Forever an arrogant bully because  he was never repentant on 
the page!), but there is very little going on at the  schools of my two kids 
and my numerous nieces and nephews that I don't know -  from the youthful 
ideas of off color humor scribbled on restroom walls to which  teachers repeat 
things kids tell them to all the other teachers. Kids talk.  Maybe not 
directly to me in half the cases but just by walking into a room  unexpectedly I 
hear a lot. I firmly believe it can happen in the wizarding world  as well.
Back to lurking...
