Except that they don't seem to put themselves into any kind of 
practical situation. In fact, the only time they could actually have 
used them, when they were about to be discovered by Umbridge's Squad, 
they fled !! Otherwise, they just cast spells on each other, exactly 
like in the Charms class. Even Harry realizes this shortcoming, since 
he muses about finding a Boggart to bring to the DA to really scare 
them. So as far as people like Hermione are concerned, who know their 
spells but panick in the heat of things, I don't think the DA is 
terribly useful. It's very useful for people like Neville, though, 
who think they can't cast a spell properly. So you see, DA *is* about 
learning to cast spells, *not* about learning to use them.
