Alla:

See, this is a very good example of how different people view things and characters.  This is the reaction I find impossible to understand. I cannot master a tiny shred of sympathy to the monstrocity like Umbridge. This character is the main reason why I do not bother rereading OOP so hard I find to read about Harry's detentions and her sadism to everybody else, all that I was hoping for when centaurs took her is that she will end up dead. But I am not about to say that I find your reaction illogical or anything like that. I would just say that this is something *I* do not understand and probably never will.
