Adi:
 I was wondering why the Order wouldn't 
> bother to borrow from Harry when they needed these cloaks so badly.

Erin: 
Probably because Harry isn't allowed to join the Order, and he wants 
to.  He might try to make admission to the Order the price for 
borrowing his cloak, and the adults don't want to start that fight 
again.

Also, the Order is engaged in dangerous work. They lost one of 
Moody's cloaks already. If they lost Harry's, there wouldn't really 
be anything they could give him to make up for it, ICs being so rare 
and all.

And Dumbledore may not want to risk Harry's IC being lost. Knowing 
the entire prophecy as he does, he may think that Harry might have 
more need of his cloak in the future than the Order does in the 
present.
