Mad-Eye showing Harry the Photo/Caradoc Dearborn

I was re-reading "Mrs. Weasley's Woes" last night and wondered why 
Moody was so insistent to show Harry that photo of the original 
Order, and then why Harry felt Mad-Eye was watching him all the way 
up to the boggart incident. Any ideas? Is he trying to show Harry 
about the danger involved, make a point that all those people were 
alive one day and gone the next? (Foreshadowing for Sirius's death 
perhaps).

That just doesn't seem like a picture you pull out at a party, even 
a party with some of the same guests as in the picture. "Oh, look at 
all our friends who were murdered." 

Also, Mad-Eye mentioned "Caradoc Dearborn, vanished six months after 
this, we never found his body..." (US, Chap. 9, p. 174).  It seems 
like if Voldemort captured Order members to get intelligence info, 
there would be more people in the Order mentioned as "disappeared" 
rather than murdered. In a post from August, Ffred Clegg mentioned 
Dearborn's name is Welsh--perhaps he was an order defector and had 
something to do with the Potter's death? Not much to go on, really.

Jen, guilty of meandering thoughts today ;).
