Umbridge a DE? (was: Wizard Logic)

No, I don't think Umbridge is a Death Eater. Her purpose is to show 
us, as Sirius told Harry, that the world isn't divided into good guys 
and Death Eaters. That's an important theme in the series. 

Umbridge is sadistic, vile, and cruel, but no Death Eater. 

va32h, who thinks that this theme would be played out better if JKR 
showed us a friendly and cheerful Death Eater for comparison.
