Alla:

Sorry! Did not mean to "hit" you, just wanted to disagree. :o)

Sorry again.

Potioncat:

First off, I agree.  We're told this is a war and Dumbledore is in 
charge of an underground organization that is fighting the enemy.  
And almost all of us have used the comparison of DD being a General, 
the others being officers or soldiers.  Myself included.  But, along 
with DD's other faults, the Order is not being run like a military 
organization. 
Where's the chain of command?  Who's in charge?  What training do 
they have?  If you ask me, the Order functions like a group of 
friends who are pulling together for a common goal, but with very 
different ideas of how to accomplish and that goal, and not agreeing 
on who the other members should be.



Alla:

 Well, true, some formalities are not there and true again that it 
could have been run better (Goes agains as to whether Dumbleore is a 
good general or not question, IMO)

But, some of the things you are referring to, we simply do not 
know , because Harry does not know it. Order may as well have chain 
in command and someone could be possible susbstitution for 
Dumbledore, the order may as well endure some extra magical 
training, which Harry did not see.

As to different ideas, well, it looks to me that they all pretty 
much complied with Dumbledore's ideas of how to accomplish certain 
goal (for example not telling Harry about the prophecy) They did do 
what their general told them, din't they?

snip.

I'm just grumbling that the Order is

Sure, it could have been run better.
