Hi, Matt! You are probably right about Umbridge acquiring the locket in 
book 6, but Harry's detentions with her took place in book 5. She was 
evil before she got the locket! However, it's possible that the Locket!
Horcrux made her even more cruel. I was so pleased JKR finally 
confirmed today that the evil toad was punished :-).
