Umbridge teaching N.E.W.T. level DADA. That's pure Evil.>>>

assumed the mantle of Headmaster by _telling_ the Minister.  He
told the Minister to call off the Aurors hunting Hagrid, and told
the minster to remove Umbridge -- and with every expectation that
Fudge would do what he had asked.  To send Umbridge back after
being dead wrong about Voldemort, would be asking for more trouble 
from Dumbledore than he already has.>>>

you suppose that part of the reason that Neville has been a weak

wand next
year...>>>

Neville:
Even Professor McGonnagal thinks Neville's problem is confidence, and 
he's shown that when it matters he has got the right stuff (ie in the 
ministry of magic, in his pactical potions OWL). His wand may have 
something to do with it, but surely his father's wand would have 
helped him if anything. 

Umbridge:
I can see Umbridge having a part to play in the next book. I cant see 
her coming back to Hogwarts (not after being chased out of the place 
by Peeves brandishing McGonnagal's walking stick), I think she will 
have a part to play much like Barty Crouch Snr - on the side of 
right, but essentially just as evil in approach and deeds as the 
death eaters themselves - further illustrating the point that the 
world isn't divided up into good guys and death eaters (a challenging 
concept for children).
