I think Umbridge will return. In OoTP she only received a few kicks from the centaurs. If nothing else, Umbridge is still due some real comeuppance.
And didn't Stephen King proclaim Umbridge the most poignantly villainous villain since Hannibal Lecter? The author wouldn't neglect to use such a creation in the next round.

I think she's coming back, and this time, she means business.
Hey, you all, to see if Umbridge comes back, I suggest you read this article. Interview of JKR.
http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrinterview2.shtml
From the interview you can find on mugglenet.com with Jo after book 6 was released.
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 IM [instant messenger] after the book came out, there were at least four or five people whose away messages were, "Give her hell from us, Peeves." Everybody loved that line.
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.
