I think the unity has already begun with the DA. In previous books, 
it was always the Golden Trio dealing with Voldemort and his evil 
plots. Here, we've got different years within Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, 
and Hufflepuff cooperating and learning how to defend against the 
dark arts. No Slytherins, yet (unsurprisingly), but I do believe 
Harry will have more recruits for the DA in sixth year (possibly, and 
hopefully, a majority of the school eventually united against 
Voldemort).
