The centaurs are not an organization they are a species, a species 
as intelligent as humans with a long and illustrious history. To 
label all of them as evil is racism of the worst sort.

Wow, you must be smart!

How on Earth is that going to stop Umbridge from torturing Harry?

Even if you could convince her to go as far as London (unlikely) 
it's not clear how that would help, you say flee up the steps but 
that's easier said than done, she has a wand (equivalent to a gun) 
on you at all times. Perhaps you could get any member of the Order 
who happened to be in Grimmauld Place at the time to come out and 
battle on your behalf, but then you'd be risking their life when 
there was a much better way. And letting one of your worst enemies 
find out the location of your super secret headquarters does not 
sound like a very good idea to me.

I am certain at the time Hermione thought Grawp was far more 
dangerous than the Centaurs, and she had a point, certainly the 
Centaurs were terrified of Grawp.

If Harry has the ability to call Fawkes to him whenever he wants 
that's news to me. By the way, how could she ask Harry anything 
without Umbridge hearing her do so?

Ok Professor Umbridge listen closely, this is what I want you to do, 
swim out into the middle of the lake and then dive down to the very 
bottom then

 No, that just isn't going to work

And they communicate to Dobby that they need help by means of

If a corrupt, evil, black person was holding a gun to my head and 
was about to pull the trigger and I could figure out a way to get a 
KKK member (or anybody else) to stop them from doing it I would not 
hesitate for one heartbeat to do so. Be honest, would you?
