Alla:

Whether Harry was **looking** for the army or not, he IMO **found** 
it. All students who stood with him in MoM were members of the DA. 
**A lot** of what they had used there , they learned there IMO.

So to me the **big picture** is there and Marietta to me is still a 
traitor, **not** a snitch.

And no, IMO Twins glorious, inspiring chaos against Umrbidge( see 
Magda's post, I agree completely) cannot be compared at all with the 
act of treachery. This is how I see it of course.
