At first I was shocked that Umbridge attempted to kill Harry. Not the
fact that he use physical punishment as a tool to shape Harry.
For year physical punishment has been used to teach/Discipline
children, I for one can't understand it.(I didn't grow up with
physical punishment) Everyone will agree that Harry Potter's "world"
is still stuck in the Dark ages, therefore why are so many people
shocked to see a form of physical punishment in JK's book. Even today
Physical punishment is still used and still advocated by teachers on
both sides of the Atlantic.
Umbridge was in the book, to introduce a different type of evil. to
smudge the lines between good and evil. She tried to kill Harry
before school started and then contemplated casting an unforgivable
on him. She is just plain mean. but not a Voldemort supporter.
JK likes to foretell in her book. remember Dobby? I for one taught
that Black was going to die when we seen how he treated the House-
Elf. (I did change my mind several times during the book). In COS
Dobby betrayed the Malfoy. in OOP Umbridge can be evil and not be a
servant of Voldermort.
I suppose what I'm trying to say in the 6th book I think Harry will
fight for "good" but not be controlled by Dumbledore, or a member of
the Order. I for one don't think I could ever forgive him and most No
way could I ever trust him again.

I apologies for my poor structuring of my argument my Professor is
always on about it.
