Thanks.

I looked up Umbridge and realized that umbrage means a
feeling of anger cause by being offended.  Not only is
Dolores angry but she offends the centaurs and makes
them angry!

I don't know if this one applies but snipe is a
gunshot from a concealed location.  Could Snape be
firing his curse at Voldemort (or Dumbledore) from a
concealed location?  Snipe can also mean fool and
someone else once mentioned that the Tarot card for
the fool looks like a man who is upside down being
held by his ankle.  The curse that Harry used on Ron
and James used on Snape!
