I'd be curious to hear speculation too.  The only thing I can think
of is that the Order of the Phoenix is the "old crowd" - the ones
that fought against Voldermort before.  At first I thought that the
old crowd we're just the *old crowd* - Dumbledore's peers.  We know
that Mrs. Figg is apparently older, at least in Harry's eyes.  But
then when I read GoF again, I realized that Lupin was included in
the "old crowd".
I'd also be curious to hear the speculation on what exactly James,
Lily, and Sirius did to make money.  It seems like the amount of
money Harry has in his vault was quite a bit - obviously they didn't
work for the ministry.  I think I remember reading somewhere that JKR
said that how James and Lily made their money would figure in heavily
in the later books????

Wow Amy, I totally lov and agree with your theory.  Mainly because 
Dumbledore was always big on loyalty.  His loyal followers at the school, 
and the fierce Loyalty that brought Fawkes(the phoenix) to Harry in CoS.  So 
having the old crowd be the order of the phoenix, Dumbledore's most loyal 
supporters who would do anything to rid the world of Voldemort makes a lot 
of sense.  Congratulations on an insight i never would have dreamed of.

As for the money think....wasn't there a theory that the Potters worked for 
the mysterious branch of the ministry that no one knows about.  It would 
make sense that that dept. would be paid more bc of the danger in their 
tasks....But that makes me raise another question.  we know Lily is muggle 
born, but what about James?  What about his parents or family or cousins or 
aunnts and uncles?  I also again remember a theory about James being a 
descendant of Godric gryffindor and prof trelawney's Prdiction....maybe the 
money was left over from some large inheritance.
