What's the deal with Umbridge?

I'm rereading OotP, and of course Umbridge is quite the presence. She was also mentioned in HBP. I think she's going to have some sort of role in the last book. Any clues on what her deal is?

All I can remember is at www.the-leaky-cauldron.org, they have an interview with JKRowlings and she was asked about Umbridge. This is pulled directly from the site:

MA: If I was Harry I might, but as a reader I enjoy him. I enjoyed him most when he started obeying Fred and George at the end of book five.

JKR: Yeah, that was fun. I enjoyed that. That was satisfying. [Laughter.]

ES: When I signed onto MSN messenger after the book came out, there were at least four or five people whose IMs said, "Give her hell from us, Peeves."

JKR: [Laughter] Awww. Well, Umbridge, she’s a pretty evil character.

MA: She's still out and about in the world?

JKR: She's still at the Ministry.

MA: Are we going to see more of her? [Jo nods.] You say that with an evil nod.

JKR: Yeah, it's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish.

Excellent!! I loved her and hated her all at the same time. She's such a great character, as evil as she is. I'd like to see her get what she deserves, though.

I don't think she will be very important; she will have just enough influence at the Ministry to make Harry's and the Order's lives difficult.
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.
