A few weeks ago, listies noticed that so far all four book titles 
been challenges that Harry has had to face.

Maybe the "Order of the Phoneix" is again a challenge to Harry.

my response:
I think the challenge will *involve* the OotP (with the belief that it's 
Dumbledore's gang), but, as in PoA, they won't be what's against him.  In 
PoA, we thought Siruis was going to be his challenge, but it was actually 
Peter who was the real challenge since Sirius was not out to get him.

And as for this "old gang" of Dumbledore's - has it ever been discussed how 
this group appears to be quite the ragtag group of wizards? Several 
references are made about Mundungus  (about him trying to hex Mr. Weasley 
during a raid and sleeping under a cloak at the World Cup), Arabella Figg is 
(well, we think) a crotchety old lady with lots of cats, and Lupin is 
definitely odd man out being a werewolf.  Why is it noone in this group (that 
we've heard so far, at least) is a little more, well, normal?  Those wizards 
appear odd even by wizard standards.
