I've been assuming that "The Order of the Phoenix" is the name for 
Dumbledore & his followers. Voldemort's followers already have a 
name: the Death Eaters. And it's clear that Dumbledore has his own 
anti-Death Eater group that he's starting to mobilize at the end of 
GoF, the "old crowd" he mentions. Plus, Dumbledore has as much of a 
phoenix connection as Harry & Voldemort: the phoenix feathers from 
both of their wands come from HIS phoenix, Fawkes. And CoS indicates 
that Fawkes serves as Dumbledore's emmisary when he himself can't be 
present.
