Harry refuses he feels that to do so would play into Umbrage's hands and also he is very upset with Dumbledore.Also she was in a postion of power over the other teachers I don't think they could have stopped it without being sacked. As for informing the parents all communications in and out of Hogwort's was being watched both the Owls and the Floo network.Another thing even if a parent found out about it all they could really do is pull their child out of Hogwarts. The one wizard paper was under the control of Fudge the Minister of Magic. And their were students at Hogwarts who were afraid that if they complained their parents would get sacked from their jobs in the ministry.</blockquote>
