Hickengruendler:

And that's the point where I have some problems with. The group was 
only about learning DADA. Marietta was part of the group for half a 
year, and all they did in this time was learning DADA. The only thing 
they did that was really anti-Ministry was the name, Dumbledore's 
Army. And I might have understood Marietta better, if she had gone to 
Umbridge right after the first meeting in the Hog's Head, or after 
the first meeting in the RoR. But she waited several months. She knew 
that the class wasn't doing anything other than learning DADA to 
defend themselves/pass their OWLs. She knew it was harmless, and she 
still ratted on them.
