I'm not sure I would agree that it 'became' an anti-Umbridge group 
(indicating over the course of time).  As the group thought of names 
the 'Anti Umbridge League' came up straight away.  Marietta knew 
what she was involved with right away.  It may not have worried her 
as much as it did later but I do not think the DA morphed into 
something else.  She may have heard cautions from her mother, she 
may have started disliking Harry more, she may have had time to 
think about what it would mean to be expelled, she may have thought 
that Umbridge was here to stay... whatever the reason, she wanted to 
back out.  I think SHE grew uncomfortable being involved, not that 
the group changed.
