When Fawkes saved Harry DD said something (and now I'm trying to 
translate from Dutch) about Harry showing exceptional loyalty to DD.  
Otherwise Fawkes would not have come to his rescue.

So I assume that even though Arthur fights the good fight and is in 
the Order, he did not show any "exceptional loyalty" toward DD.
