I agree, she should have been mature enough to say no and Cho should
have been mature enough to respect her wishes. But, failing that,
Harry, Hermione and Ron should have screened out people like her who
were clearly unsuited for DA.  The only people who should have been
allowed to join should have been the ones who understood clearly what
they were getting into and believed in what DA was doing.  I'm not
trying to excuse her or Cho, but the whole ugly mess could have been
avoided with some foresight on the part on the three leaders.
