Yes, I basically agree with this, and I want to add, that Filch also 
doesn't basically care what happens to Trelawney. His aim is to get 
Peeves out and to punish the troublemakers 'properly' (Properly from 
his point of view, of course). Therefore I don't think he would tell 
Umbridge that Trelawney is still in Hogwarts. Of course Umbridge 
can't be that forgetful not to remember Trelawney at all, but I think 
Jen has gotten the nail on the head, when she says, that Umbridge 
wanted Trelawney out, because Trelawney was hired by Dumbledore and 
that Dumbledore was the real target. With Dumbledore gone, she didn't 
care anymore for Trelawney.
