I think Umbridge will defiantely make another appearance, she was at 
Dumbldore's funeral and I think that she was pointed out not only 
because of what she did to Harry, but because she will be coming 
back.  This is based on the fact that she has a warped sense of 
self.  After all she thought she was doing the right thing by sending 
a dementor after Harry.  She is still at the MoM and Scrigmore 
(forgive the spelling but I don't have the book in front of me) seems 
to just as dedicated to putting a good front as Fudge. While he can't 
ignore LV, he seems to be trying to whitewash it.  I think that this 
will give Umbridge an opportunity to worm her way back into Hogwarts 
and find a way to get in Harry's way over the summer.  Even if its 
only to make ammends so that Harry will support the MoM.

There was also no closure on Harry's part.  This woman made his life 
hell and help to cover up that LV was back.  So my other thought is 
that she is a loose end that would need to be tied up.

As always, this is just my opinion.
