Good theory.  Here's mine (It's probably got some holes but it's the 
one that I use in my fanfic):  Knowing that Harry would be connected 
to Voldie by their wands because of some ancient prophecy, the Order 
was set up to protect Lily and James and Harry.  It's made up of 
their closest friends and some other people that Dumbledore trusts 
(Arabella Figg which explains why she lives near the Dursleys.  She 
can keep an eye on Harry at all times).  I dunno those are just the 
ramblings of a 15 year old.  Anyone got a different opinion or just 
think I'm loony?
