Umbridge was planning to interfer in a way that would be negative to
Harry, but given her status at the end of the book, I don't think she
is in any position to interfer with anyone or anything. 



Now Fitzov:

Actually, I think I am the only sad individual speculating that Harry will fail DADA, but I admit to having posted it several times!

I don't deny that Umbridge's power had evaporated by the end of Book 5, but I believe she had already done her damage  during the DADA practical. It seems unlikely that a character as malevolent as Umbridge will fail to have some lasting mark, and her legacy to Book 6 may just be the news right at the start that Harry has failed DADA and needs to rethink his career choice.  This would lead to some really intersting possibilities since being an Unspeakable (for instance) sounds to me a whole load more challenging than being and Auror - especially if VM has been defeated by the time Harry starts his post-school career.
