Molly specifically said- "He's just arrived, the meeting's 
started..." I'm assuming the "He" she's referring to is Dumbledore 
for the simple reason he's the leader of the group. I don't think 
they would start the meeting just because the informer (if there is 
one) had arrived. I could be wrong.

We know most of the Order has been identified, because Ron and the 
others told Harry they've "met about 20 of them." So obviously 
there's more than one unknown.
