Geoff:
I find her a very sinister character. She was prepared to send Dementors
to attack Harry in order to silence speculation about Voldemort's return. 
This seemed to spring from her being as obsessive about Fudge as 
Bellatrix was about Voldemort on the other side.

We then find her holding a senior position in a Ministry dominated by 
Voldemort's people such as Thicknesse and Yaxley.

A control freak who enjoyed abusing the pupils - and staff A woman 
supposedly on the side of good?

Just referring back to Eric Oppen's comment, I dug around looking for 
Umbridge's Patronus because I couldn't recall one and realised I was 
looking in the wrong book...

"Here, behind a balustrade, sat Umbridge, with Yaxley on one side of her.
and Hermione, quite as white-faced as Mrs. Cattermole, on the other. 
At the foot of the platform a bright silver, long-haired cat prowled up 
and down and Harry realised that it was there to protect the prosecutors 
from the despair that emanated from the Dementors..."
(DH "The Muggle-Born Registration Commission" P.213 UK edition)

"The Patronus, he was sure, was Umbridge's...."
