further than that. She just pretty much dropped off after the 
Snape/Umbridge conversation. That's just me. I do realize Ginny will 
be the front girl for the next film but Cho's needed more to end it.

Julie:
I didn't get this though. Snape tells Umbridge he's out of 
Veritaserum because she used it all interrogating the students,
including Cho who ultimately "snitched." So if Umbridge was
using Veritaserum on *all* of them, how come only Cho gave up
the DA? Are we supposed to think she's particularly weak-willed
and the other kids somehow managed to fight the Veritaserum?
Or are we to assume Umbridge didn't ask the right questions 
until she got to Cho? And why didn't she just start with Harry,
who she assumed was the ring-leader, and Veritaserum the truth
out of him?

Okay, I know I'm being waaay too logical ;-) I'm sure the point
was to show that Cho unwillingly betrayed the DA, though I agree 
that the lack of follow up between her and Harry rather dampened
the effect.
