Harry has been involved in a body creation ritual so simple that even Peter Pettigrew could do it, the problem is that you can't bring the spirit back from the other side. Luckily Hogwarts has a lot of ghosts.
Time: Near the end of 6th year.
Harry rants "Dumbledore is dead, Madam Bones is dead, my Godfather Sirius Black is dead, and the ministry is corrupt! We're screwed! all are best wizards and witches are dead, and we are all that's left that will fight!"
"True mate, too bad it's not like chess where you can work a pawn to the other side and get back your queen." Ron says. "Sort of like they brought V-v- You-Know-Who back from the dead."
"Stop being silly Ron." Hermoine says swatting him on the back of the head. "You can't bring a spirit back from the other side, the only reason they could bring back Voldemort is that he's anchored to this side and never passed over."
"Well what about the ghosts then, hunh?" Ron fires back at her. "They're still on this side aren't they! Ha! We could bring them back now couldn't we."
"Ron! That's Necromancy! How would we make a body for the spirit?"
"Uhm, actually it's not that hard." Harry interjects. "Wormtail did it for Voldemort, all he needed was Bone of the Father, Flesh of the Servant, and Blood of the Enemy, the rest of the potion smelled like beef stew and was making me hungry."
"Hah! See Hermoine, two of the three are easy!" Ron yells in triumph. "We grab Malfoy and his too goons and bleed them, there's our Blood right there."
"We could probably get Slughorn to contribute a few pounds of flesh, he's got lots of extra." Someone adds.
"Oh that's good!" Hermoine rants at the boys. "That only leaves the grave robbery! And how do we even find the right grave to find the father of a ghost!"
"We could ask them I suppose. We should ask if they want to come back and fight anyway." Harry replies. "The Gray Lady is Helena Ravenclaw, her family might even be buried here at Hogwarts. Other than that it's mostly research and it's not like Wizard's don't rob graves, that's what Ron's brother Bill did for a living in Egypt."

So the DA look into bringing back the ghosts of Hogwarts to fight Death Eaters. The Gray Lady, the Fat Frier, Nearly headless Nick, the Bloody Baron, Peeves, Moaning Myrtle (Not much point for her since she's still a student, but they were doing it anyway and she's available), and whoever else they can get like members of the Headless Hunt.
