This is absurd: You thought up a detailed scenario, and you assign it ten times more probability than all other alternative scenarios of apologies put together:
Harry apologizes in person
Harry apologizes in writing (but without making a list of people versus Galleons)
Harry apologizes through an intermediary (e.g. “Professor McGonaggal, please tell the Headmaster I’m sorry for the things I said”, or “Fawkes, give Albus a hug for me.”)
Harry apologizes indirectly by defending Dumbledore’s actions in public to Hermione’s classmates.
Harry apologizes through an elaborate prank that utilizes the Time Turner, the True Cloak of Invisibility, and exploding birthday cake.

Etc, etc...
I laughed so hard that it hurt.
