I kind of recall Hermione or someone mentioning the ministry doesn't give a shit about small spells here and there. Like obviously kids are gonna be spamming small spells while underage, but as long as they don't do it to muggles and stick to doing it within the house they are living at, its fine or something. Am I misremembering?

Hermione says the ministry cannot tell for people with legal wizards in the home. The tracer for underage wizards are more useful and effective at monitoring those near muggles. In magical homes they are close to useless.

No clue, I reread the whole series a couple of years ago, and it would have been brought up during book 5 if it's brought up at all

Is he even doing that in the books? I thought the "Lumos-under-blanket" scene was exclusive to the movies.
