Why not a group of good Slytherins?  It seems like we are being wound 
up in several ways.  
First: the number of students in the school.  As other posters have 
stated it is looking more and more like there may be approx. 30 per 
year, per house to make the other systems function properly.

Second: We do not know what houses all of these adults are in.  We 
only have Hagrid's assertion that only Slytherins go "bad".  We have 
confirmation on a few adults from JKR, but she seems to deliberately 
withhold the information (ie. Tonks)

I expect Harry to be genuinely shocked when he finds out the 
background of the people in the Order and the reasons they are 
helping to defeat Voldemort.  He is finally getting to the age when 
everything is becoming a lot more grey, no more easy black and white. 
When that happens all of these A-typical Slytherins (and Gryffindors, 
for that matter) will begin to surface at Hogwarts and outside. 

Sue, who thinks Moody may have been hoping Harry would ask some 
questions when he showed him the picture at Grimauld Place.
