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...
