Betsy Hp:
I think Harry's indifference is the reason the DA *remained* 
fractured.  But you had members fighting in the corridors during the 
ride to Hogwarts.  Obviously something went wrong.  If, of course, 
the DA was supposed to be a step towards the Houses uniting.  I 
think that's what Hermione was hoping for, IIRC.

But I think especially when you've got the Hat's song in OotP, that 
Harry didn't take the uniting of the Houses seriously is something 
still to be delt with.  That the DA failed and why it failed I think 
(hope) will have to be faced in book 7.
