AND: she did seem to be trying to get Harry killed by doing that, 
and remember what was said about people being under imperius, if 
they already have the intention and then you curse them to make them 
do just what they were going to do it becomes (don't remember how 
they put it) more of a certainity that you will do it. Maybe, and 
it's a big maybe, but Lucuis has been to The Minister's office and 
Umbridge would have been there, so who's to say that all this about 
Harry he used Imperius on Umbridge and it just made her want to do 
it even more, like a passion rather than a passive idea. Just a 
thought on it anyway, Lori
