Me:
According to "the Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry 
Potter" by Galadrial Waters, YES!

He also says chapter 12 is significant too. (Because of the number 
12's she throws out at us.)

However.....I think JK read this book. I totally noticed that she 
took cues from their sleuthing to avoid certain writing patterns. 
Umbridge is evil, but not the villian and may not be in league with 
Voldemort. She's just a female version of Fudge. Now Harry does get 
scar pain in this chapter, so I guess that's the villian "appearance".
