This is even more depressing because she shows flashes of understanding a little bit about the characters, despite the comedy typos. (OK, I wouldn't say they're in character per se, but at least Hermione isn't a pureblood princess in a mini skirt and Harry isn't slashing his wrists.) Then...whammo, there's Adrenaline Phenylalanine, Sue extraordinaire.

Forget naming my kid the Aydreane Phendraycon hogwash. I want to name him or her Adrenaline Phenylalanine...
... that way, he or she can learn about themselves in school.
P.S. I was actually going to name my third kid Kayrin Insolyn, after my friend who couldn't spell insulin. She finds it offensive; I find it phenomenally comical.

They were so much like the Marauders.
Except there's three of them, they're not werewolves or animagi, one's a girl, they don't really play pranks, and they're actually nothing like them at all. Otherwise, the resemblance is stunning.
(If anyone's like the Marauders, I'd go with Fred and George.)

Whyever would you say that? It's not like anyone's ever made that comparison in canon before. Not like our Intrepid Trio; they're compared to the Marauders all the time.
Her name sounds like a perscription medication. The kind that everyone is super excited about, and then it turns out to cause horrible cancer or something and you end up hearing about it on the lawyer commercials. "If you or a loved one has take Phendraycon, call the law offices of Joe Bornstein."
That actually makes sense. The kids in the DA actually made a lot of progress, thanks to Harry's tutoring. And you'd think that teaching people to defend themselves would be a high priority, considering that Voldie and the Death Eaters are gathering strength.
However, this is what actually happens in HBP:
"Are we still doing D.A. meetings this year, Harry?" asked Luna, who was detaching a pair of psychedelic spectacles from the middle of The Quibbler.
"No point now we've got rid of Umbridge, is there?" said Harry, sitting down.
Right. Forget that the kids learned tons, forget that it was actually useful, forget that lessons in the DA might save their lives and the lives of those around them. Just disregard all that, Harry, because hey, Umbridge is gone, and that's what's important, right?
I gotta chime in and agree here, my biggest dissapointment in books 6 was the DA being gone. It never made any real sense, other than a plot point later in the book of how sad and lonely Neville and Looney are.
Well, the reason they formed the D.A. was because they didn't learn anything useful in the real lessons. With a proper teacher the D.A. wouldn't be needed.

Seriously. He's so mangled in fic. It's really sad to see.

That looks like "carrying insulin."

“Why not? Umbridge is gone and Dumbledore isn’t going to stop us. Besides Voldemort’s still around and we have a lot to learn”
...
Right.
