The Order of Phoenix and the DA

Eclipse:" Someone mentioned that the Order would be disbanded because
now that everyone knew that Voldemort was back, the Ministry would
probably be taking on this role. (Sorry, deleted the post.) However, I
was thinking that Dumbledore ran the Order the first time around, when
the Ministry should have been running things. Why? My only thought was
that he realized that there were a lot of spies there, and knew that
they would never get anything done."

True, but there's more: everyone now knows that Dumbledore and
Hogwarts, not the Ministry, is the center of resistance against
Voldemort, and that the true leader is Dumbledore.

Will Fudge survive as MoM? It depends on how the wizard world governs
itself.  If it was a European parliamentary system, there'd be a vote
of no confidence in no time, and Fudge would be out on his ear.

The Order of the Phoenix will survive, as the point of Dumbledore's
spear.  They will be effective in ways the Ministry won't be.

The DA will also still exist, as an official group this time, with
Harry as its leader.  The best, NEWT level DADA students will be its
members, and band together in defense of Harry and the school at a
time when things are desperate.  I believe that a time will come when
Voldemort attacks Hogwarts directly.  He almost has to, because he
can't allow Dumbledore and Harry to have a safe, secure base while he
has none.
