Did she predict the number of Harry's children or him being Minister?

In case nobody has answered you yet, she had. In OOtP, after HP's interview came out in The Quibbler, the teachers displayed their approval in various ways. During HP's Divination class, which was being overseen by the evil Umbridge, Trelawney weepingly told the class that HP wasn't about to die, he would become the youngest ever Minister of Magic, and he would have 12 kids. I thought it was hilarious.

Speaking of Umbridge...I know Sirius was certainly right in saying that the world wasn't divided up between good people and Death Eaters, but Umbridge's continued support of the Ministry--fervent support--well, she may not have been a DE but she certainly was in collusion with them. I was really looking forward to seeing her die.

I felt the same way about Rita Skeeter... would have really liked to have seen her get some kind of comeuppance.

- Considering Trelawney’s wrong prophecies, I’d take that one with a huge grain of salt.... (That entire Epilogue seemed very out of place.)

- As for Umbridge, etc. I thought that Rowlings’ treatment of a wizarding society warped by fear, cowardice, and petty hate was right on. To me, the whole atmosphere seemed alot like what it might have been like to live in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. The chapter in the ministry got my blood boiling (it was supposed to, no?). J.K. Rowlings was making a very valid point very well. For an evil regime to work, it not only needs the true believers (Beatrix), but also bureaucrats like Umbridge (or Eichmann) willing to make the trains run on time.

It occurred to me when reading the ministry chapters that almost no one was willing to stand up for what was right... Not Umbridge’s employees, not the secretary who must of witnessed tons of vile hearings, not even the janitor whose wife was under investigation or even those being investigated.

I had forgotten that! Yeah, that would've been a good end.

I am surprised that she didn't take one last chance to abuse Umbridge further -- she's stated how much fun it is to do, and I thought maybe she'd get one more go at it before the end...
