I'm sorry, but it looks like I found a quote in the OOP chapter named "The
Lost Prophecy" that contradicts this theory.

"The odd thing, Harry," he said softly, "is that it may not have meant you
at all. Sybill's prophecy could have applied to two wizard boys, both born
at the end of July that year, both of whom had parents in the Order of the
Phoenix..."

That means that the Order already existed before the prophecy was made and
the need to protect the two families arose and that they have already been
members of it.
