WOW!  I really like that!  I was wondering the other day how JKR 
could throw us for a loop *yet again*  (Quirrell, Ginny, Scabbers as 
the "bad guy"- who'd suspect?), and I think it would either 
involve    

* writing in another complex character like Mad-Eye in GoF

* fleshing out one of the minor characters like Tonks or Kingsley in 
some interesting way (because right now, I don't think we know the 
newer characters well enough to really be shocked by them, except 
maybe Luna)

* using an existing noble character to betray the order (not Lupin, 
please not Lupin, I won't believe it's Lupin)

Narcissa would be great for that!  We've met her before, we know a 
bit about her, nobody has any doubt that she's evil (after all, she 
did marry Lucius and spawn Draco didn't she?).  It would be perfect! 
I don't necessarily think it will happen, but what a clever idea!
