Tina now:
I am, like so many others, a little worried about where Hermione is 
going but as far as the DA is concerned I think she has a leg to 
stand on.  She is the one with idea for the DA.  She does most of 
the speaking at the first meeting.  She decides to have a name, 
officially elect Harry as leader, and have everyone sign up.  She 
also came up with the galleons (for meeting times).  She knows Harry 
well.  He liked the idea of the galleons and mentions to Cho (a bit 
too heartily perhaps) that he thought the Sneak jinx was brilliant.  
Possibly Hermione didn't think she was over-stepping boundaries 
because she knew she would have Harry's support.
