Then zgirnius said:
I don't know, for me she managed to make it sinister. The takeover
results in some serious flips of the former positions in the
government and the papers, and some very repressive laws. Yet noone
seems to mind all that much, unless they happen to have Muggleborn
relations or friends. I was reminded of that famous poem:

va32h:

Yes, but they all seem to be the result of a few Death Eaters 
Imperiusing everyone ele into doing their will. Umbridge is the only 
character we see who is apparently neither DE or Imperiused, just 
taking advantage of the situation to let looser her inner sadist. 

Perhaps I'm being shortsighted in seeing Umbridge as one character and 
not representative of a whole type of magical folks.
