You really think so?  This seems to be a major bone of contention in 
the fandom.  Lots of people (myself included) found 
Umbridge's "punishment" to be weak and not nearly proportionate to 
her crimes (i.e. she should be in Azkaban).

P.S.  Now, if we learn in passing in the next book that she IS in 
Azkaban, or permanently mentally disabled (there is no indication in 
OOTP that she won't be just fine shortly), or otherwise engaged in 
long-term and severe suffering, THAT will wrap up the sub-plot nicely.
