bboy_mn:
I don't put Neville an Luna in the same catagory when analysing their
future parts in the story. Neville will join Harry/Ron/Hermione as the
fourth in their group in future stories; he will be at or near the
forefront of the story. 

Luna, on the other hand, will remain a secondary character. I do think
she has a purpose in the story, but nothing of the magnitude of
Neville's purpose. So, I can't make one judgement that will cover them
both.

Will they join the Order? Probably not. While the book will conclude
in their 17th year, we can reasonably assume that they will still be
in school, which means they can't join the Order. When they are
finally out of school, the story will be resolved and there will be no
need to join the order.

So, without a doubt, they will join the fight, but I don't seem them
becoming formal members of the Order. That also included Harry, Ron,
and Hermione. They will not formally join the Order, but I think
Dumbledore has learn his lesson, and will do a better job of keeping
Harry informed.

As far as them knowing too much, I think they have estabilished that
they are trustworth and loyal, and I don't think the Order has
anything to worry about.

bboy_mn:
I don't see anyone being brought to 12 Grimmauld Place unless there is
a strategic necessity for it. So, while I can't say circumstance won't
occur that will bring them there, I don't see it as likely.

The Burrow is a possiblity, but I see Neville as being much more
likely than Luna. Luna is a very interesting character, but Neville
has a direct role in what will happen.

The place I do want to see them go is Neville's house, say Neville
invites Harry/Ron/Hermoine to a joint Harry/Neville birthday party. I
want them to go there so that Neville's grandmother can start putting
him down again, and then see the Trio set her straight in no uncertain
terms.

bboy_mn:

I think the DA and the Order will stay separate. Again, by the end of
book 7, it will all be over with and there will be no need for anyone
to join the Order. In the mean time, I see the DA Club functioning on
it's own at the school. I also speculate that it is in the now
officially sanctioned DA Club that the bringing together of the houses
will play out.

Just a thought
