I'll have to see it again to know if I'm completely accurate on 
this, but I think Harry taught it to the DA because I think one of 
the Weasley twins was up in the air during one of the meetings.  But 
I think, given Harry's reaction to Snape's worst memory, he thinks 
it's only okay as a defensive spell... he was sickened in GOF when 
it was used on muggles, and he was sickened, at least in the OP 
book, when James used it on Severus.  

But I think the fact that he tries it out on Ron and has a laugh 
about it in HBP made the moviegoers ok with showing it... it looks 
cooler on screen than some other counterjinxes or defensive spells, 
as did Ginny's "reducto" curse in the DOM... foreshadows her power 
in HBP and replaces the bat-bogey hex for showing her power thus 
far.  I'm not sure I agree with the changes, but I'm guessing that 
was the reasoning behind it.
