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.
