The fact that I can more easily imagine Umbridge as a Slytherin than, say, Madame Malkin, has no effect on the odds.

Julie:
I've always imagined Umbridge as a Hufflepuff. She puts a 
premium on her loyalty to Fudge and the Ministry. Granted
it is a twisted loyalty, but loyalty nonetheless. I also
see her as too stupid and single-minded to be a Slytherin. 
She is a follower, IMO, not a leader, and she is cunning
only in her own mind.

Julie, who thinks every house has the potential to have
its primary traits twisted toward evil.
