Yet another excellent chapter. I especially enjoyed the interaction with the Queen, which I believe is neglected far too often in fanfics. I also like the way you've brought McGonagall over to Harry's side against Dumbles, and can't wait to see the inevitable confrontation between Professor Kittycat and the Old Coot.
The rapid updates are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
When you're right, you're right. The queen is the monarch of her country. As such, she and her cabinet should be well aware of the wizarding world. According to everything I could find, all ministers are subordinate to the Prime Minister, but in that horrible pile of...typing, called HBP, Fudge and later Scrimgeour treated (presumably) Mr. Blair like an idiot who'd lost his village.
McGonagall: I felt it was better for her to learn of the compulsions on her own, or Albie could make the claim that she'd been hoodwinked by Harry & Co. That her discovery was due to Uncle Albie's carelessness, is only gravy.
The confrontation will take place, but it might not be as explosive as you'd hoped. After all, I don't want him dead...I want him to /Suffer/!
