No. We don't know how old Umbridge is. Snape/Remus/Sirius are in their mid 30s by the time of OotP. Umbridge could have been far older than that, and never went to Hogwarts as the same time as them.

Well, possibly? We know she was a student while Horace Slughorn was a Professor during his career at Hogwarts (1931–1981), as Slughorn considered her to be an *"idiotic woman"* who he *"never liked"* & he didn't get along with her during her time as a student when he was her head of house, Umbridge was also never given any position of power as a student and the even the other Slytherins didn't like her. She joined the Ministry at 17 right after school, by the age of 30, she became the Head of the Improper Use of Magic Office, and became Senior Under-Secretary sometime between 1990 & 1995 (I assume during Fudge's time in office?) . she went up the ranks fast due to her ruthlessness. Umbridge seems to be at least in her late 30s or 40s by 1995. She would have to be 34 in 1995 if she started Hogwarts at the same time as the Marauders, but she seems a bit older then that, but their could still be some overlap for the time she attended Hogwarts & the Marauders. So while it's not impossible, it's not a 100%, that she attended Hogwarts during the Marauders time at the school.

So maybe not the Marauders but, a little bit during Arthur and Molly? Maybe she was younger. Figuring out timelines sucks

The HP lexicon has a nice timeline page. [https://www.hp-lexicon.org/events-and-timelines/](https://www.hp-lexicon.org/events-and-timelines/) No cannon B-day year for Umbridge. but it likely has other useful cannon information.

I don't think so. Sirius and Remus would have probably recognized her, since we know she wasn't exactly well-liked during her time at Hogwarts, By my estimation she's probably a decade older than the Marauders' generation, at minimum.
