Now we as readers can analyze all we want. Say how evil a person she
is, and how immoral her behaviour. But inside the story, the Hogwart
students had better not do the same where she or her squad members
can hear it, because she will make them pay for it. They had better
learn that in a dictatorship the rules are what the dictator says
they are. They can scream about morality and justice all they want, 
but sometimes it is not available. And then people had better adapt 
and choose their actions wisely, especially if they are going to 
resist her.

vmonte now:
What a boring book it would have been if I had to read almost 800 
pages of: 'Harry shut up and take it like a good oppressed person!

Rules in the dictatorship CAN be changed and often ARE changed if
people decide to DO something about it ( For the latest of such RL
developments let me refer you to events in my former home country -
Ukraine)

Hogwarts students and teachers eventually refused to let Umbridge
have power over them. Result? She is not there anymore.

Just my opinion of course,
