I agree with you. If she wanted him to do magic, she could have sent 
something more harmless. Or maybe send a houseelf, who can do a spell 
their without Harry even noticing, and he would probably be suspected 
doing magic (at least he was, when Dobby did the spell).

I also have no problems, to imagine that Umbridge would kill 
everybody, whom she considered to be a thread for a career.
