Well, this is my idea as to how things could have made Professor Umbridge mad during that year. Warning this is an OotPs Spoiler
I own nothing of the following – JK Rowling & the other copyright holders, etc. own them. Just using the characters in a fan fiction story – no money earned.
Summary: The following are letters sent during Harry Potters 5th Year. When the parents of Hogwarts get involved - The following is what transpired.
Background: The IWEA licenses Wizarding teachers. When needed the Heads of schools can ask for a list of qualified teachers in a subject area. Besides the academic arena, the Education Committee watches over and sets the standards in Wizarding schools.
Chapter 1: The HPA Letter
Letter #1 and Response:

Greetings
The members of the Hogwarts Parents Association (HPA) have learned of the appointment of a new teacher at Hogwarts.
Miss Delores Jane Umbridge was appointed as both Professor and as the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. This appointment was made by the Minister of Magic of England – Mr. Cornelius Fudge. Her original position is that of Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic.
The subject she was appointed to teach is Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA).
Some of our children have remarked on the lack of practical lessons. Hogwarts has a requirement for at least 15 minutes a class period or a full period every week.
As we are very concerned for the students – please contact us as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Letter from Ms. Stinkwood to Professor Umbridge:
Professor Delores Jane Umbridge
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.
Scotland
Dear Professor Umbridge
Please be aware that a serious situation has come to our attention. Your appointment as both the Defense Against the Darks Teacher and the Inquisitor of Hogwarts was not made through us.
Currently your license is that of a Level 1 Temporary and also you do not meet the qualifications of being an Inquisitor.
Your Level 1 license is normally used when working temporarily in a Wizarding Nursery School. Inquisitor qualifications: Permanent teaching license with no less than ten years experience in the classroom.
We have also been made aware of the fact you have not severed your ties with the Ministry of Magic office. Your former position as the Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic should not have any bearing on Hogwarts. Failure to sever those ties will result in a permanent teaching ban.
Yours respectfully,
Martha D Stinkwood

CC: Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic London
