I mean, the "crew" constantly breaks school rules, fights injustice agains the school's evil teachers and undercuts the ministry. They constantly point out how corrupt and mismanaged it is, and do what they need to do despite it being "illegal" or whatever.

How the adults let it happen (or why Harry ends up getting a government job in the end) is the confusing part. I guess as a kid reading it, it is more relatable. Because the world feels like a terrible place with shitty rules and plenty of "wrong" things going on, run by adults that don't really do anything about it.
