Actually I have to agree with you m about Umbridge and her patronus. 
Your idea of it being a toad is better than my rat. I did have 
problems thinking of something horrible and the rat was the first 
thing I thought of.
Any futher suggestions on what Umbridge'ss Patronus should be would 
be very much appreciated
