Laurawkids:

YES!  Don't give up on this one.  This caused me to think.  The WW 
and Muggle World are being taken over by Dementors.  DE's will be all 
over the place.  Our grand old Dumbledore is dead!

This is when all young wizards and witches are expected to step up 
and serve their country - and form the true Dumbledore's Army.  Why 
wouldn't now be the time to switch gears for awhile and use this 
castle as a basic training camp?!  

Draco is right: when Voldemort is in power, who cares about OWLS and 
NEWTS?  You just want the killing to end.  There are times when it is 
necessary to suspend normal activity and hunker down and go to war.  
Who cares about the kids being smart, let's just settle for them 
being alive.  

Why would we limit the trainees to the original DA?  We need all the 
help we can get.  That would easily include the Slytherins. 

If Hitler informed JKR's thoughts, I can see this happening.

Laura, who would wave a little Hogwart's flag if I had one.
