I don't think she's a DE.  She admits to the things she did, but she 
did them on behalf of the Ministry.  Harry and Dumbledore were making 
a fool of the Fudge administration.  She wanted to discredit them.  
If we had not been privy to Harry's thoughts and experiences 
throughout the series to this point, we might have believed all of 
her little set-ups.  But that doesn't make her a DE.  She's the 
Ministry's woman, through and through.  And she will stoop to any 
level to protect her Ministry.  As Sirius said, the WW isn't divided 
into nice people and Death Eaters.  Umbridge proves it.

Corey:
I think we can all agree that death eaters aren't nice people. Umbridge being the MoM woman through and through. Kind of
Harry being Dumbledore's man through and through. What I
find interesting about Umbridge is she didn't come up in the HBP book. I would have thought she would have wanted to cause more trouble for Harry just to be mean but she didn't. 

I would have hated to have detention with her. Glad she's not a real school teacher.
