Well, you covered most of my suspects, but I'll throw my two knuts in anyway. :)  First, I certainly think there's at least one major betrayer still in the mix, as it would be entirely too dull without one.  

As to who it could be, well, that's another story.  Ron is a possibility simply because of the constant desire for money and so on.  Could be bribed, but I really doubt it.  I think he'll remain loyal.  I believe Seamus and possibly Dean will either betray or stand idly by doing nothing to help (foreshadowing from the knight Harry dreamed about Arthur Weasley and the snake).

My real money for the betrayer is on Tonks.  For starters she's new, likeable, and her clumsiness has bound to be for a reason.  For another thing, why is she even in the Order?  Because of Sirius?  Doesn't seem like the best reason in the world.  Something just isn't right there, and I think there's a reason for it.  I do think, however, that she gets by the McGonagall Auror issue.  Barely, but she was probably in the last group taken for training.
