ME - Two things - as other people have said, Hermione knows the 
theory. In PS, she freezes when the troll is in the bathroom. Harry 
and Ron do not. When she's faced with the Devil's Snare, she knows 
the description but doesn't think of her speciality, the bluebell 
flames. There's a world of difference between Lupin and Moody' s 
teaching, and Quirrel and Lockhart's.
There's also the fact that Harry is a leader. Hermione is a swot. A 
leader doesn't have to know everything, Harry could get Hermione to 
demonstrate most of the spells. His job is to motivate and convince 
the DA's that they _can_ do it. And he does this admirably. 
Sorry, Hermione. Your day will come.
