Delores Umbridge

I think that Delores Umbridge is a Death Eater.  She sent dementors 
after Harry.  She is trying harder than anyone else to keep Harry 
quiet.  She goes after Trelawney.  Ok, Trelawney is a seer but an 
apparently poor one. Of course, I don't know how often a good seer 
actually sees things.  Dumbledore is obviousley keeping Trelawney at 
the school so that she is under the Hogwarts protective properties.  
He may have even convinced Trelawney that she cannot leave the school 
grounds. (I seem to remember reading that she rarely even left her 
own rooms let alone the castle.)  Why go after an apparently 
insignificant teacher?  If Umbridge is simply trying to defend the 
ministry wouldn't it be more prudent to go after McGonnagal or 
Dumbledore?  But she goes after Trelawney.  A teacher who apparently 
is a nothing.  No threatening power.  Unliked by many of the students 
and teachers.  A joke really compared to the other teachers.  It  
makes no sense unless she is working for Voldemort and knows (as I am 
sure Voldemort knows) that Trelawney is the one who spoke the 
prophecey.  She goes after Trelawney to get her out of the castle and 
out from under its protection so that Voldemort can access her.  
Voldemort would them be able to get into Trelawney's mind and see the 
prophecy for himself without having to get into the Department of 
Mysteries.  She also is very close to Malfoy and the Slytherins.  
However, she basically attacks Snape during her evaluation of him.  
She also is out of control when she contemplates using the 
unforgivable curse on Harry.  How does she know it will work on him 
unless she has used it before.  She has no problem doing things 
behind the Ministers back (what he doesn't know won't hurt him).  She 
is so evil, evil, evil.  I also wonder if she was not controlling 
Fudge to a point especially where it concerned the educational 
decrees that she never had a problem getting.  Just my thoughts.
