At some point, Umbridge received a locket as a bribe from thief Mundungus Fletcher. The pendant was actually Salazar Slytherin's locket and was, unbeknownst to her, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Due to Umbridge's twisted nature, the Horcrux actually amplified her magical abilities.
"She has an affinity for this horrible object, which would help rather than hinder her" so, the horcrux's negativity actually affected in a good way for umbridge(in her perspective, not us ofc, she got worse!)and made her able to summon a patronus.
If anything the Locket may have been channeling her anti-muggle hatred and expanding on it. Dolores Umbridge complemented Voldemort's essence well so there really was no negative effect just an expansion on how Umbridge already acted.
Yes, but Voldemort is convinced that no one knows he made Horcruxes. And that the Horcrux is safe in the cave. Besides, he would never allow anyone to wear the Slytherin locket. She kept lying to everyone that it was a family heirloom and that she was related to the Slelwyns.
Was Umbridge wearing the Horcrux in Order of the Phoenix?
She acquired it some time after the events of book 5, because Mundungus Fletcher who was a member of The Order of the Phoenix stole the locket from 12 Grimmauld Place (the Order Headquarters at the time) and sold it to Umbridge, who probably bought it to pretend she's a pureblood descended from Slyrherin, with no ...
What Happened To Dolores Umbridge After The War? Why Didn't She Fight In The Battle Of Hogwarts?
Was Umbridge on Voldemort's side?
Although Umbridge was not a Death Eater, and had no direct contact with Lord Voldemort, she showed that she was fairly in line with their goals. This was due to Umbridge's callous nature and her prejudiced beliefs, both of which were similar to Death Eater behavior.
What happened to Umbridge when the Centaurs took her?
Umbridge was ultimately rescued by Dumbledore, although she was apparently left with a significant fear of centaurs afterwards, reacting violently at even the sound of hoof-beats.
At some point, Umbridge received a locket as a bribe from thief Mundungus Fletcher. The pendant was actually Salazar Slytherin's locket and was, unbeknownst to her, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Due to Umbridge's twisted nature, the Horcrux actually amplified her magical abilities.
Apparently, Umbridge's mother was a Muggle and her brother was a Squib – a source of huge embarrassment for the family. Perhaps their abandonment and retreat back into the Muggle world had such a huge impact on Umbridge that it became the catalyst for her Muggleborn-targeted cruelty later on in life.
In turn, Umbridge acts in the open, from a position of power, being the Minister of Magic's right hand. She's not a Death Eater masquerading as a government official — she's just an awful person taking advantage of being in a top position.
JK Rowling responded to the theories with "She has an affinity for this horrible object, which would help rather than hinder her." So, the horcrux certainly would add to her existing evil. But Umbridge is just that: plain evil. And as for the horcrux: Ron took care of that.

They are just as vile as each other. The key difference is that Umbridge has more control being able to mask her " evil " and be in a government position where as Bellatrix is the person that has been caught and is more impulsive.
If you have only seen the films, you might be surprised to hear that it wasn't Cho Chang who betrayed Dumbledore's Army to Professor Umbridge – it was Marietta Edgecombe. A friend of Cho's and a fellow Ravenclaw, Marietta (reluctantly) joined the DA.
Bellatrix was an unapologetic monster who utterly relished in the pain and torment she caused, Umbridge was a monster but a monster in a pink coat, she could hide her evil behind a fake smile and supposed civility.
Why do people hate Dolores Umbridge more than Voldemort?
Because Umbridge is a woman, her cruelty is perceived more harshly, and people compare her to women in their lives. Thus, gender is central to the negative interpretation of Dolores Umbridge.
She persecutes Muggle-born wizards and witches under false accusations of stealing magic, sentencing them to be either kissed by Dementors or sent to Azkaban. While not a Death Eater like Voldemort or Bellatrix , Umbridge stands out as one the most loathsome characters due to how realistic her threat level is.
Still, any Horcrux would be far more vulnerable than the Sword of Gryffindor. If the sword were to be imbued with a soul fragment and therefore turned into a Horcrux, it would no longer be indestructible but vulnerable to Fiendfyre and basilisk venom—two substances it would have otherwise absorbed in its natural state.
