I considered mentioning that, but decided against; I did not wish for the Azkaban breakout to be the focus of discussion.

While it is not possible for all members of the Order to speak out, you would not be a poor choice. At very least, I would like your permission for me to discuss the success you have achieved in your laboratory work in a future essay, whether by name or anonymously. It will not convince everyone, but successes achieved by Muggleborn and half-bloods might be an interesting topic.
