Maybe the order is a lot older than even that. The name of the group: The Order of the Phoenix, implies a much longer lived society.  The Phoenix is a bird that lives for thousands of years and continuously dies and is reborn.  

I was rereading OOTP and came across the scene where Harry informs Lupin that he is no-longer taking Occlumeny lessons. Lupin tells Harry that he must go back and tell Snape that he must continue the lessons because Harry must learn it! It is the single most important thing he must accomplish (lots of paraphrasing). 

Through the whole series of books Harry has always been given the tools, lessons, animals, etc, that he has needed to accomplish certain goals. 

In PoA alone, Hagrid makes sure he is acquainted with Buckbeak. Lupin teaches him the patronus charm. Hermione is given the time-turner, which is used later.

What if Harry and the kids are being singled out and trained for an as yet mentioned role?  (A role in which they will continue the work of the Order?) 

I also think that Harry may need to learn Occlumency not to protect himself from present day Voldemort, but because he will need to go back in time and impersonate James. 

And yes, someone will figure out who he is because of his eyes...

Just to throw some thoughts out...
Has the Order been around since the original founders of Hogwarts broke up?  Did Salazar mess with the time-line?  Has Voldemort somehow created a larger rift in time? 
Are the Order protectors of time?

Time.  That is the reaccuring theme in all of the books.  Time.  Each book deals with a different aspect of time.  You may be on to something here.  It would make sense.
