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
