Geoff:
Interesting, because Umbridge doesn't scare me. She makes me so frustrated,
wound up and flaming angry that I could cheerfully throttle her. I have on 
occasion met people like her who are so assured that they are right and the 
world should acknowledge this and revolve round them and I foster an extreme
dislike because everything that is said contrary to their view is just water off 
a duck's back. Within the Potterverse, I think that Percy Weasley and Gilderoy 
Lockhart come close to this but are nowhere near as dangerous as Umbridge, 
and in the real world, I would nominate Richard Dawkins as one person who 
falls into this category.
