I'm told that she's less liked than Voldemort. I know of fanfics
where Voldemort gets sympathetic, or at least neutral, treatment, but
none for Umbridge. Part of it, I think, is because she _is_ so
believable. Almost anybody can imagine working for, or being the
pupil of, an Umbridge figure, while very few of us ever expect to meet
a snake-faced madman who wants to live forever.
