Amy Z:
(No, the betrayal wasn't to LV, just to Umbridge. But the need for 
DA was desperate and Umbridge's interference with it well-nigh 
criminal; this wasn't just a petty matter of getting kids in trouble 
with the headmistress, but an attack on a very important project. 
And there are clear overtones of undercover DEs here, being that JKR 
has dwelt a great deal on the suffering that's been brought about by 
people who "signed" and then reneged on promises.)

Bookworm:
The rest of the DA may not have know about the war with Voldemort, 
but Hermione, Harry, the Weasleys, etc. did.  The others had heard 
versions of the story, so they knew Hermione would consider learning 
defensive spells very important.  Hermione mentioned Umbridge by 
name because she was the one preventing them from learning.
