I´ve been wondering about it, too. I thought that the Order of the 
Phoenix was  a sort of conspiratory secret society (Dumbledore´s "old 
crowd"), because so was the group around Guy Fawkes. But it doesn´t 
fit very well really since Guy Fawkes & friends were rather fanatic, 
and I just hope the OoP will not start their operations by blowing up 
the Ministry of Magic...
