the other kids in the DA need never have been expelled.  Umbridge 
was after HP from the get-go in OotP.  She wanted *him* out of the 
picture.  DD sacrificed himself to keep HP in school - read 'safe.'  
Marietta was not after getting DD removed from the school.  As it 
was, although Umbridge knew all the names of the DA members, no one 
else was punished at all.  She got what she wanted, more so in fact, 
when DD left the school.   


Valky:
Del and Duffy! For goodness sakes ladies! 
You are depressing me no end!

I see your arguments and all they are is whittled down to 
microscopically thin interpretations of canon themes.
Sorry to be so abrupt. :)

Now Del, I am well familiar with your liking for making a 
controversial stand for reinterpretation of the Bad Guys, but... 
I am just about death with pure misery and I can stand by no longer 
while you tear limb from limb all preconception of fair and just 
behaviour by our HP heroes.

1 Marietta Joined Dumbledores Army at the behest of her good friend 
Cho Chang. (No pushing from Hermione)

2 Voldemort is alive and kicking and mortally dangerous to every 
last inhabitant of the Wizard World. Someones gotta fight him! 
Dumbledores Army is doing the WW a service beyond anything else..

3 Hermione was aware that she was dealing with the most sinister, 
vile authoritative figures ever to walk Hogwarts in her few years 
there. DA is too important to be left to chance under Umbridges 
regime. Hermione chooses an effective and powerful protection for 
the group. 

4 The teachers see precisely the same points I do and hence do not 
show open disapproval of Hermiones hex. Frankly it is good for the 
bigger picture of the WW if the students realise Hermione is a 
formidable foe.

Now you know I love ya Del... :D but please please this tirade on 
The Fighters *against* Voldemorts tyranny is just too much. Please 
don't make me cry.
