THANK YOU for bringing this up! It has bothered me for a very long 
time.  As some people have expressed previously, it did not sit well 
with me that Umbridge just waltzed out of Hogwartz with out any 
apparent consequences for her horrid behavior.  I would love for Book 
six to open with a new trial in front of the Wizengamot with the toad 
wringing her hands as the charges are read against her (no bow this 
time just messy hair and bad shoes).  My vision of the end of this 
hearing is Harry breaking her wand in half and sending her off to 
clean bedpans in the werewolf ward.  Or perhaps a permanent post in 
the Forbidden Forest as the Centaur liaison....  ;)

Hoping for justice,
Sue
