Ditto... and I think we may have overlooked that this makes dear 
Madame Trelawney, as ineffectual she as a teacher, something far 
more important *a weapon*. 
In OotP, was LV after, not just her prophecy from the past, but also 
her prophecies of the future? 

If so it implicates Umbridge as a party to LV's plans.
However, I don't see that supported by canon Umbridge *is* a nasty 
hideous character but all in all shes nothing more /really/ than DE-
FIE ESE Fudge's pawn.

Why do I think so?

Because it's canon. 

1.Umbridge set the Dementors on little whinging. To shut Harry up, 
for the good of the WW 'according to Fudge' hence in her servitude 
to her master Cornelius Fudge.

2.She went to Hogwarts to discredit and oust DD and sack *Hagrid and 
Trelawney* it's a given that she always intended to. 
*She* did this because Fudge is scared of DD; Trelawney(Prophecy) is 
a powerful weapon of war in DD's hands and so is Hagrid(Giants), in 
Hogwarts walls under DD they are protected and untouchable. 
Fudge whispers in Umbridge's ear that it would *also* be good for 
the WW if 'the WW childrens' education were not in the hands of Half 
giants and fakes. So Umbridge runs along like a good girl to serve 
her master and his will be done.

I DE-FIE, who can disprove?
