Doddie here:

I would love to think that she is more than capable...

However...for Voldemort to remain as evil as he is...I believe that 
only Voldemort would not give much thought to the repercussions of 
creating horcruxes..

Also, I think that Dumbridge would be more the type to "kill" those 
in the wizarding world who are not "fully human"...and Dolores would 
never create a horcrux out of the killing of a "half-breed"...

I probably would classify Dumbridge as a "sadist" more than the 
power hungry psychopath Voldemort is..(Dolores simply struck me in 
someone who garnered more enjoyment from the pain of others rather 
than having power..after all she really didn't press the issue of 
gaining access to DD's office, and she didn't attempt to fire 
professors that would ensure her a "shorter" line to headmastership 
of Hogwarts).

As far as the "Toad" reference...I always associated it with Dolores 
being a "toadie"..(the tag-a-long to the bully who has lots of bark 
and little bite "offically", but probably does more "emotional 
terror than the bully themselves)

(who is simply greatful than Harry never touched D'umbridge as he 
may have developed many warts--and oft wonders if 
Marrietta's "sneak" was not made worse by the touch of the 
Toad<Umbridge>!)
