colebiancardi:  it is more than just *one lousy subject* that plunged
the whole school into chaos.  It was the way that Umbridge took over
the school with the Ministry decrees.  She went over DD's head and
enacted what she/Ministry wanted.    She was using her power to upset
the applecart, so to speak.  and not in a good way.

colebiancardi(who thinks that DADA is not just one lousy subject, it
was a very important one for the students to learn, with the return of
Voldemort)
