So either they're doing stuff or they're not. If their plan is not
to do stuff then that's their plan. But it's a plan of keeping
themselves out of trouble, not an Underground movement that's
runnign their own side war. Some readers might still see other plans
as being better things to do or think back up plans would make sense.

Well, they all expected Harry to be the one to rid the WW of Voldemort once
and for all, as they understood the parts of the prophecy they thought they
knew about and as DD had somewhat led them to believe.  If to the end of
keeping some people from wallowing in despair they're trying to keep people
knowledgeable about what's going on in the anti-voldemort movement so that
when the time to act comes, they do so, that's something. Sure there might
have been other plans that were better or back up plans that would make
sense. I never said otherwise. But, I don't think that what we were given
was as lacking as some do and I do think that the final installment of the
story works well with the rest of it.  Possibly because I didn't want to
read a book last summer that would have been so lengthy I would have been
unable to often take it with on the bus, etc. because of the near
impossiblity of reading such a long book while commuting without
consistently dropping it when disembarking or even boarding, but there you
go.
