HG cries out that they will surely be expelled for hexing SS in the Shack, and then SS covers for the students by telling Fudge that they were not responsible because they were confunded. Suspension is not the same as expulsion; he never makes explicit what act he considers worthy of suspension (he seems to be just whining here); and, as noted by others, the students are not given any punishment. Are there any other examples? Someone must know of others.

Potioncat:
I'll start a list from your post, tossing in any comments about being expelled by other characters.
PS/SS
ch 16--Snapes threatens expulsion for "any more night time wanderings." (this is just after the Trio realize DD is away the the Stone is at risk) In this same chapter McG threatens to take 50 points if they don't stay away from the trapdoor.
- Hermione says that after what McG and Snape have said, Harry would be expelled for going out at night. So she's going by both teachers. She also thinks she's safe from being expelled because of her grade in Charms.
-Madam Hooch threatens to expel anyone who gets on a broom.
- McG says that if anyone acts up in her class they will leave and not come back. (I think she only meant form transfiguration, and I'm sure no one tested it.)
CoS
-MoM informs Harry he is at risk of expulsion
-Whomping Willow Chapter, Snape threatens
PoA
- Hermione thinks they'll be expelled in PoA for hexing Snape.
- Snape may be suggesting suspension to Fudge, but it's more like conversation unless he's hoping Fudge will suggest it DD.
OoP
- Harry thinks he'll be expelled for blowing up his aunt. Fudge dismisses the idea.
I'm sure Snape never even suggests it in OoP and with Umbridge there, he would have been successful.
Any others?
