Not till they are of age and out of school.. It was made clear that 
members were OF AGE and NOT IN SCHOOL.  This is why Fred and George were 
not allowed in, they were still in school.  Perhaps now that they are 
out, they 'might' be let in, though they tend to be 'loose canons' and 
are irresponsible.  After the incident at the MOM, the rest of the gang 
showed THEY are too irresponsible to be in the Order to. They were out 
of  line going to the MOM in the first place. As CHILDREN, they should 
have gotten ADULTS to do it. Go to Tonks, Lupin or Moody for help, not 
take matters into their own hands. Harry was arrogant to think that a 
bunch of kids were a match for Voldemort.  They would have been better 
off even going to Snape if Harry wasn't so blinded by hatred to see that 
Snape, as a member of the Order, would have been able to tell if Sirius 
was really at the MOM.

If I was Dumbledore, I wouldn't let any of the kids into the Order, 
except perhaps Hermione, who can keep secrets, knows her own limits and 
HAS A BRAIN.  She's also almost too responsible for a kid her age. Must 
be that time turner?
