Sorry kiddo, I gotta disagree.  There is a fundamental difference 
between plot devices used (and overused) from time to time, and a 
running gag which has become a signature of the series as much as is 
Fred & George coming up with new ways to commit mischief (Marauder's 
Map, Ton-Tongue Toffee, etc.).  I bet it would lose miserably in a 
poll on whether to discontinue the self-destructing DADA's.
