Is Umbridge a Half-Breed???

I don't know about you guys, but when I was reading OP, I kept 
thinking that the reason Umbridge hates half-breeds so much is 
because she *is* one.  Canon to back it up?  She looks very odd 
(toad-like, short, stubby fingers, just weird-looking in general), 
then there's the extreme hate of half-breeds (Voldemort hates 
muggles and mudbloods...why?  'cause he *is* one).  If she is a half-
breed, then what is she half of?  

Also, and excuse me if you think it's crude (we're all grown-ups 
here, right?), when Umbridge gets back from the Centaurs, I kept 
thinking (maybe I'm perverted, I don't think so, yet this still 
occurred to me) that she had been, um, sexually abused by the 
centaurs as a punishment...ok, raped.  It would be the ultimate 
revenge, esp. if she were pregnant and had a half breed child.  I 
know this sounds crazy, but when I finished reading the scene, I 
told my husband it was almost like Rowling was making it to where an 
adult might just take it that way, but of course it's not spelled 
out because children read it.  Anyway, I thought I'd throw that out 
there.  There's no canon that supports it except that she came back 
mentally hurt, yet there weren't any huge physical injuries...why 
else would she be so scarred?  And by the way, I don't feel the 
centaurs are creatures who are likely to do something like that or 
anything...

thought this so she can sleep easier
