On the subject of Umbridge and Book VII

All right, let's have another feeble attempt to break away from Snape 
for a while.  On the subject of Dolores Umbridge, JKR said in her 
three-part interview with TLC:

JKR: [Laughter] Awww. Well, Umbridge, she's a pretty evil character.

MA: She's still out and about in the world?

JKR: She's still at the Ministry.

MA: Are we going to see more of her? [Jo nods.] You say that with an 
evil nod.

JKR: Yeah, it's too much fun to torture her not to have another 
little bit more before I finish.



Now, what do you think JKR meant by that?  It's always dangerous to 
read much into colloquialisms like "little bit" -- recall what people 
were reading into her comment about how Harry would have a "little 
romance" in HBP.  The definite thing is that we will be seeing her 
again (and I suspect the mentions and glimpses of her in HBP were 
JKR's way of keeping the character somewhat in view in preparation 
for whatever is going to happen in the seventh book).

Anyway, any ideas?
