Harry didn't call to the DA about Sirius. Ginny and Luna were there by 
accident - they heard Harry screaming to Hermione and came to 
investigate :-). Neville also was there by accident - he just tried to 
defend Ginny when the IS apprehended her and Luna, so he got caught. 
When Harry went to fetch his IC before breaking into Umbridge's office, 
he actually met Seamus and Dean, and he didn't ask them to do anything.

It was in HBP that Harry asked Hermione to try and summon as many DA 
members before leaving for the cave, and here the story becomes a 
little murky :-). Later Harry thinks that Neville and Luna were the 
only ones to respond because they missed the DA most and still checked 
their coins while the others didn't. This is all very well where 
Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws are concerned, but I don't understand why 
Ron and Hermione needed the coins at all to call Neville and other 
Gryffindors - they were all right there in the Gryffindor tower :-).
