wondering the same thing about Umbridge.  Will she turn against Fudge 
and the MOM because they finally believe Voldemort's back?  She 
obviously hates DD, and he's been restored to the Wizengamot.  Now 
that she is no longer able to use any of them to get her 'sadistic 
control' fix, will she join Voldemort?  If the DEs are in Azkaban, he 
needs someone still on the outside to help him.  She might be easily 
persuaded to join him.

Sure you did it right, welcome!

Some people obey the law because they believe in it; some do it for 
fear of punishment.  I see Umbridge as the latter.  If she does join 
LV, it would be as an agent-in-place in the Ministry, I'd think.

That troubles me too.  You'd think that after the disgrace she and 
her sponsor Fudge just underwent, they couldn't hold office one more 
day, or be trusted with the restroom combination.  What good would 
she be to LV?

If I had to predict anything, it'd be we see her in a very limited 
way, or maybe not at all.
