I'm too Slytherin to read Harry

[kiya]

... it occurs to me that the world thinks Harry killed Umbridge. And thus that the 'you know, the last person who was like this was Umbridge' is actually readily interpretable as a threat.

I wonder if Harry noticed that.

Especially the "only student at Hogwarts who failed his exams in the last seven years was a Ravenclaw" bit. I feel like Harry's brought up Umbridge to make other people think about how horrible Umbridge was and be like, "Lana, please don't go down that path, don't be Umbridge Redux, take care of the people in your charge," but enough people are going to see it as "Lana, remember what happened to Umbridge? I can make that happen to you - oh, and you're a Ravenclaw, aren't you?" that it's going to be problematic/PLOTTY ;)

Also, Umbridge's plate still hasn't been located, has it.

Given that icon, and given the many years he's spent actually listening to his Slytherin friends. I think he knows exactly what sort of second message he sent.
