What can Harry teach Hermione in DA ?

Ever since I read Hermione's idea about the DA, I kept thinking: but 
what does Harry have to teach *you* ??? As far as I can remember, the 
only thing Harry learned without Hermione around was the Patronus 
Charm. In GoF, if I remember well, he keeps learning from and 
practicing with her. And I can hardly imagine that she could help him 
learn and practice something she doesn't know already.

Which bring another question I have. When Harry receives the DADA 
books for Christmas, he's excited by all the new stuff he'll be able 
to teach the DA. But how can he teach them if he doesn't know them 
first ? I'm not saying he can't learn them first on his own, but that 
would be terribly out of character. Just the year before, he needed 
all the help he could get from Hermione to learn the charms he did 
manage to learn, so I can hardly imagine that he could suddenly learn 
new ones on his own.

So I would understand if it said somewhere that Hermione is some kind 
of co-leader of the DA, but she's described as just a normal member, 
and that irritates me extremely : when did Harry become a better 
student than Hermione ??? I mean, Hermione can charm those Galleons, 
which is supposed to be NEWT level magic, but she doesn't know those 
charms Harry knows ? Illogical...
