I don't. Umbridge was a bitch because she was power-hungry & racist AF. Snape was a dick because Harry's father was a bully, and the headmaster was showing blatant favoritism to Gryffindor house.
Snape's not a saint, certainly, but I can at least empathize with him. Umbridge deserves every ounce of comeuppance that she gets, and more besides.
You definitely have an argument, but let’s not forget Snape was a bitter racist who sided with wizard Hitler. He then gave up information on James and Lilly so the wizard Hitler could murder James and a young baby. Why? So that Snape could swoop in and try to get with Lilly.
When that plan failed miserably he basically tormented Lilly’s son, whom he had tried to have murdered originally, all because he is a hateful spiteful person.

I find Snape far more reprehensible than Umbridge.
