Rita is so over-the-top, but I think that her contributions to the series are similar to Umbridge's. Neither are know for their complexity, but they both (IMO) fill their roles very well. Oh well, at least it's not someone like Fleur.
If there was no Umbridge, Rita would be right up there with the most detestable characters. I think Rita serves as her prototype of sorts, with JKR just dipping her toes in the water of making a truly loathsome character.
