Finwitch:
Well, I had this obscure idea: Harry as an _official_ teacher in DADA 
for OWL-level (well, seeing as Dumbledore has great trouble finding 
proper teachers, but I think he'll get creative after Umbridge!) and 
Remus Lupin will be teaching NEWT-level classes. (I suppose his being 
a werewolf is a lesser problem that way).

And I would say that Dumbledore would surely approve of the DA-club 
(after all, it was made to encertain that the students Would learn 
DADA regardless of Dolores Umbridge - why not)

And what comes to school unity, I think Fred&George did it, leaving 
it as they left. The Hogwarts school united against Dolores Umbridge 
in the form of pranks and laughter! I mean really, that "Umbridge-
itis" and all the Dungbombs... the staff was in by way of looking the 
other way (except for Filch and his cat), and all students but the 
Inquisitorial Squad. (Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle - who else?) And Peeves 
was their leader!

I particularly liked the way Fred&George's fire-works and how 
teachers kept telling Umbridge to deal with it... and how Umbridge 
could NOT remove that swamp! (When it took Flitwich only a few 
seconds!)
