Since, in mythology, the centaurs are associated with debauchery and
orgies, ...hmm a lot of bad things could have happened to Umbridge.
Now Rowling's centaurs seem to be different--more civilized. Who knows?
Maybe nothing. Maybe the traditional view is an unfair prejudice held
by wizards (and muggles)? But if Umbridge thinks she's been captured
by the equivalent of an American motorcycle gang, she's got to be
terrified. That alone could have placed her in shock. Personally, I
think this is another allusion made by Rowling for adults to catch, yet
keeping the story appropriate for children to read.
