Carol responds:
Unless Steve (bboy) is right and Snape is DADA teacher instead of
potions master in Book 6 (which I don't think will happen), he
wouldn't be the proper person to advise the DA. That duty would fall
to the DADA instructor, who I'm guessing will be the lionlike man from
the excerpt on JKR's site. If they have a competent DADA instructor,
they may not even need the DA. (OTOH, maybe they should reinstitute
the Duelling Club!)
