		Harry thought Professor Marchbanks must be the tiny, stooped witch with a face so lined it looked as though it had been draped in cobwebs; Umbridge was speaking to her deferentially.
		Professor Marchbanks seemed to be a little deaf; she was answering Professor Umbridge very loudly considering they were only a foot apart.
		When Professor Marchbanks said, 'Step away from your cauldrons, please, the examination is over,' Harry corked his sample flask feeling that he might not have achieved a good grade but he had, with luck, avoided a fail.

		Griselda Marchbanks said that 'Dumbledore could do things with a wand she had never seen before'.
		She may have indeed said that to Ron during his exams, and Ron didn't mention it to Harry because, duh, there was a lot going on and it probably didn't seem all that important.
		Marchbanks is looking high and low for Dumbledore, and Ron, who might trigger something in her mind (because he looks like Dumbledore), is conveniently tying his shoelaces so she can't get a good look at him and remark on the likeness in front of the POV character.

	James and Lily Potter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, this contradicts Rowling's statements that James's parents were "old in wizarding terms" when they died, since she has also said that wizards have "a much longer life expectancy than Muggles".
		(Griselda Marchbanks is known to be over 160; Dorea died at only 57.) Their true relations to James (and Harry) thus remain something of a mystery.

		No further members are specifically mentioned, except for "two elderly witches in the back row" who raised their hands and waved in welcome when Dumbledore arrived for Harry's hearing in August 1995.

		And then there's Draco's odd assertion that Griselda had been seen at his home, when we know from Neville that she certainly "used" not to have any connection with the Malfoys.
		If she "is" someone else in disguise, I think it's unlikely to be an example of the use of polyjuice, because she's not always drinking from a flask, like young Barty Crouch did.
		And if the real Griselda is her friend, Mrs Longbottom might relax her guard when she shouldn't.

		As to Griselda Marchbanks - yes, I was referring to the crap that the Prophet made up about her.
		But I found the little aside about links to subversive goblin groups to be the most amusing part of the article, which is why I think it's hilarious.

		GRISELDA MARCHBANKS / UMBRIDGE - Umbridge seems to be trying to impress Griselda Marchbanks and I am wondering if it is because she has suffered memory loss or truly thinks that she can convince Tofty and (especially) Marchbanks that she is a good Headmaster - er - Headmistress.
		Seems also as if Griselda is a good friend of Augusta Longbottom (Neville's grandma) and that Augusta does not use that friendship to ensure her grandson a better result on his OWLs.
		Tiberius Ogden, like Griselda, used to be a Wizengamot elder, but he, like Griselda, resigned in protest when Umbridge was made Inquisitor.

		One might expect Miss Granger to have come across this information in her studies and research by this time, but she does not seem to have passed the information on to Harry.
		Although, since it is becoming clear that the average wizard does not enjoy the sort of freakishly long life of a Griselda Marchbanks or an Albus Dumbledore, perhaps this oversight does not matter.
		For that matter, that he had already been offered the post Minister of Magic three times before he was even appointed Headmaster, tends to suggest to me that his backers were people like Griselda Marchbanks who had encountered him around 1860, and had been singing his praises ever since.

		To be an examiner you would presumably have to be about 30 or 40, probably a bit older, which would imply that Marchbanks is nearing 200 when he examines Harry's year.
		I don't see anything wrong with Marchbanks being close to 200 when he examines Harry.

		the fact that Griselda Marchbanks tested Dumbledore back when he was in Hogwarts.
		I've been to the site before and it did nothing to convince me. The bulk of the theory was made prior OotP, so the issue with Griselda Marchbanks knowing Dumbledore in Hogwarts isn't really addressed at all.
		I think it's more ignored or shoved into that "Anything is possible in time travel" category, which as I said before, is just too deus ex machina for JKR.
