"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. "

DuffyPoo:
According to the Lexicon (because I don't have time to look it up myself) the Hog's Head DA meeting was on Oct 5, and the first real DA meeting, where they chose the name of the group, was Oct 9.  Umbridge is only mentioned three times at the original meeting...the rubbish Umbridge is teaching, that Umbridge has some idea that DD is going to use the students against the ministry, and that, by signing their names to the paper, they are agreeing no to tell Umbridge or anyone.  They all knew then that what they were agreeing to was something that was going to be kept hidden from Umbridge, but not necessarily Anti-Umbridge.

The Anti-Umbridge league name came up at the second meeting, on the 9th, when they were voting on a name.  By that time, when Marietta realized it was going to be an anti-Umbridge/anti-Ministry group, she could have backed out.
