I think it was something new - although of course the ending of GoF had made it clear, among other things, that one did not advance one's career under Cornelius Fudge by being pro-Muggle. Molly says in so many words that Arthur has been kept from advancing his career because he is too fond of them. ACtually, that would be yet another thing on which I was right: in It Was All on Account of the Little Russian Girl I had a twenty-years-younger Umbridge who, far from being anti-nonhuman, postured as a supporter of downtrodden non-humans.
