We don't hear about her much in HBP, so maybe she was laying low and biding her time. Once Dumbledore died and the threat of him revealing what was done at the school was gone, she slithered back into a more powerful spot with the Ministry.

During Scrimgeour's talk with Harry during the Christmas holidays, he mentions how Umbridge told him something (something not too important, don't remember what), which is the first time Harry realizes she's back at the Ministry and evidently not without influence, if the Minister asks her questions.

Dumbledore probably assumed she was finished at that point and beneath notice. He and Harry had bigger fish to fry afterall.

Very true.
