I would like to suggest that you re-read page 206.  Scrimgeour may
very well have told the Death Eaters the location of the wedding,
since it was being the attended by many members of the Order of the
Pheonix I dare say it would have been of interest to them. But, it
was Harry's whereabouts they tried to torture out of the minister,
therefore he did not give Harry away.

Also, I do think you will agree that Umbridge was rather mean (to
put it nicely) before anyone (but Kreacher, of course) knew of the
locket.  You may have a point however, it may have improved her
already ::cough:: very pleasant nature.
