And she also causes "umbridge" (umbrage): offense, hostility,
suspicion, etc. The name and the appearance work together to make her
loathsome from the moment we meet her--very different from our initial
reaction to Trevor, an eleven-year-old boy's most prized possession. I
wouldn't be surprised if Trevor turns out to be important, but I doubt
that it will have anything to do with Umbrage.

BTW, has anyone noticed that Draco Malfoy and his cronies don't seem
to have pets (er, familiars)? Or does that eagle owl belong to Draco?
(I thought it was his father's.)
