Indeed! But they would also want his non-expulsion to be plausible without revealing how important he is, nor do they want Fred and George to be expelled. I think McGonnigal is going to have to lose face here.
I think that in the aftermath of Hermione’s death, Harry’s breaking the rules and leaving the Great Hall is barely even going to be a blip on the radar. I’d be surprised if McGonagall even brings it up. It seems too callous for her.
There is no way Harry would get expelled. He is at Hogwarts for his protection—to be close to Dumbledore—not so that he can go to school.

McGonnigal doesn’t have the power to expulse students by her own decision anyway. That decision has to be made by Dumbledore.
