Alla:

You know, that's funny. From Hermione's summary I did not think that Harry
and Snape speeches sounded that similar at all. Even in Hermione's summary
Harry does not talk about Dark Arts being "indestructible", but I digress. I
wanted to read Harry's speech verbatim to compare for myself. I had a guess
that Hermione meant Harry talking for DA when she made this observation, but
I could not find what she was talking about at all. In the Hog's Head Harry
mainly just answers whether he did certain deeds and says that he had a lot
of help with his stuff. In Dumbledore's Army he supervises practices, but I
could not find what Hermione talks about either.

Could somebody help me, please? Which Harry's speech Hermione compares to
Snape's? 

Tiffany:
I think Hermione meant what Harry said the night he was soaking his hand in
the mertlap when Hermione first brought up the idea of the D.A. He said, and
I'm only paraphrasing here, that fighting Voldemort wasn't about reciting
spells, but about using your brains and your luck and your guts, and that's
all that's standing between you and death.
