Now for something that is neither Snapey-poo or horcruxes. JKR has
told us that we will be seeing Umbridge again, as she wants
to "torture her a bit more" before having done with her -- which is
good, since Umbridge and her treatment of Harry is one of the big
dangling threads, and big moral issues, with which JKR needs to deal.
Now, that raises an interesting question. What will become of
Dolores Umbridge? I offer the following delightful possibilities:
1) Following an attack on Privet Drive, Vernon Dursley demands
protection. Umbridge is assigned as the Dursleys' wizard bodyguard.
2) In a desperate attempt to gather support for the war effort,
Scrimgeour decides to appoint an emissary to the Centaurs and
Werewolves. Dolores gets the job.
3) Dolores is publically revealed by the DEs to be half-hag, thus
discrediting her stance on half-breeds and werewolves.
4) In a ministerial re-shuffle, Dolores is assigned as the assistant
to the new secretary for muggle and half-breed relations -- Percy
Weasley.
5) Ditto for above accept the new secretary is Arthur Weasley.
6) A Dementor attack on the ministry reveals the former DADA
professor as incapable of producing a Patronus. She winds up in St.
Mungo's going "clip clop, clip clop."
7) In an effort to co-opt Harry, the Ministry surprises him in
public with the Order of Merlin, presented by Dolores. Harry does
not react well.
8) Dolores is a victim of a love potion, causing her to feel and
intense and unrequited passion for Severus Snape.
Any more?
