Pippin: Yes, how about [hags]?

[quoting OoP]== Harry felt a powerful rush of dislike he could not
explain to himself; all he knew was that he loathed everything about
her, from her stupid voice to her fluffy pink cardigan [...] She
smiled, revealing very pointed teeth. ==== OOP ch 11

Very pointed teeth??! Wouldn't it be just dripping with irony if our
Dolores Umbridge is a half-breed or a disguised part-human herself? (I
know this list doesn't quite go along with Lexicon Steve in regarding
the chocolate frog cards from the video games as canon, but it does
mention in the PoA game that hags have been known to disguise
themselves as human women.)

I think this is a possibility.  How often have bigoted demagogues
turned out to have a skeleton in their closet concerning their background?

I would like to know more about hags, too. There was a reference to
hags ordering raw liver (eeww), so if Dolores is a full-blooded hag,
would someone notice disgusting dietary choices?  No way to know.

This speculation kind of has to be held off to the side for more
information, but it's a fun speculation.

Dolores needs to work on her disguise, doesn't she?
