Now ariston3344:

It sure would have been nice to see that!  But even if Harry was 
thinking that (and not just focusing on his own exam), why would he 
want to blow a hole in the cover story that the DA only  met once?  
At this point in the story, it's not obvious how long Umbridge will 
remain installed at Hogwarts.  Everyone already knows Harry can 
produce a Patronus, but there would be no good explanation of how 
the others learned.
