Umbridge's Great Success as a DADA Teacher

I'm afraid I don't have time to keep up with all the messages here,
so 
forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I haven't seen 
anything on this, and was wondering . . . 

Umbridge was described in the Daily Prophet as "totally 
revolutionizing the Defense Against the Dark Arts," when whe was
doing 
her level best to suppress it altogether.   At the end of the book, 
she ran off, apparently in control of her faculties, and probably not 
totally disgraced.   

(I personally still think she is at least a Voldemoort sympathizer,
if 
not a direct supporter, but I guess we'll find that out later.)

What I'm wondering is, even though she did nothing in class but tell 
them to read a textbook which was obviously on NOT doing DADA, the 
Prophet said that she was revolutionizing the subject, and the 
students in her class probably did better on their OWLs than students 
have in many years.  All as a result of Harry and the DA, of course, 
but that won't be public knowledge.

So, I'm wondering if Umbridge will be lifted up as some kind of hero, 
teaching the Hogwarts students so bravely and so successfully when 
Voldemoort was secretly building his forces, etc., etc., (throw up 
when you need to), and working behind the scenes for the Ministry to 
finally run V to ground.   Makes it look to the general wizarding 
public like Fudge was more successful than he really was, doesn't it?

I wonder if we'll see some kind of redemption of Umbridge in the 
Prophet, based on her obvious gifts as a DADA teacher.

Here's another thought:  U seems to be very loyal to the MoM, but she 
is also a loathsome toad of a petty beaurocrat, who exists to play 
climbing power games.    IF she gets redeemed, what if she uses that 
newfound popularity to unseat Fudge and take his place?

Wouldn't that be a fascinating and horrible turn of events?

And while we're on the subject of Umbridge, does anyone familiar with 
English law care to guess what the consequences of her midnight
attack 
upon Hagrid might be (not to mention the unprovoked attack on 
McGonagall in front of many witnesses)?
