This is true.  But they *are* associated with witches, and with 
Macbeth, and specifically with Act IV, Scene 1, which is where the 
lines of their song come from.

(First witch)

 Round about the cauldron go;  
 In the poison'd entrails throw.  
 Toad, that under cold stone  
 Days and nights has thirty-one  
 Swelter'd venom sleeping got,  
 Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.  


(Second witch, a few minutes later)

By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.


Me, I think they're Umbridges.
