bboyminn: 

Interesting thought, but in light of Voldemort's /confirmed/ return, I
think in the next book, the Ministry, and by extension Umbridge, will
have fallen into complete disgrace, and will have very little time or
power to affect anything before they are thrown from office.

In addition, I think everyone at Hogwarts knows that Umbridge was
corrupt, and actively and aggressively gunning for Harry.
Consequently, even if Umbridge has somehow managed to fail Harry in
DADA, I think Dumbledre and the staff at Hogwarts would fight to get
his grade changed to something more realistic.

Also, remember that during the exam Harry produced a Patronus Charm
which was witnessed by several examiners and other students. So
Umbridge would have had to not only control one of the examiners but
erase the minds of the others as well.

All that said, I wouldn't put it past Umbridge to try some sneak
underhanded means of messing with Harry's grades in a last desperate
attempt to discredit him. Fortunately, I don't think Dumbledore, the
school staff, or Harry would let her get away with it. 

Perhaps, this last desperate attempt on Umbridge's part to discredit
Harry will be the means by which Umbridge is held accountable and
force to pay for the evil she perpetrated during her time at Hogwarts.

Time will tell.
