Why does the world not bend to our will? Honestly, you would think that no one else at all had a brain in their heads, nor used it. Incompetents, imbeciles, idiots, all. (Quoted from Umbridge's latest post.)

That sentence? To me gets the tone and language and so on so right - it's most of the things horrible about Umbridge to me. (Most of the rest being contained in "Sizzie, dear", of course.)

Ugh, the nicknames. "Sizzie dear," "Willie." Those just scream, "This is a person who didn't have friends growing up and is now determined to MAKE people be her friends, by whatever force necessary." Umbridge, you can't coerce people into being friends with you. And no matter how hard you try to ruin Aurora and Raz's relationship, you aren't going to turn her into your old-maid-best-friend.
