It is also interesting how JKR used Umbridge to gather information 
regarding the teachers.  We now know when each of the teachers came 
to Hogwarts and a bit more about they handle themselves in a 
difficult situation.  The most surprising to me is McGonagall - she 
tends to do what is easy over what is right - IMO.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.  I think it would have been much easier for the teachers to tell Umbridge off and leave.  It was right and much harder for them to put up with Umbridge in order to be there for the kids as much as possible.  Consider, if they had left, just who would Umbridge have brought in to take their place?
 
When McGonagall wanted to help Dumbledore, he wouldn't let her because she was needed at Hogwarts.  So again, she did what was right over what was easy.
 
Perhaps, though, you meant something different.
