Malfoy did put the curse on Bode, but Bode wasn't a member of the 
Order (or at least, we've never been told that he was).  Bode was 
probably targeted because he was an Unspeakable with the Department 
of Mysteries, and therefore presumably had access to the prophecy.

But your quote helped me find the quote I was looking for about 
Sturgis Podmore (OoP seems even longer when you're trying in vain to 
find a reference)!  Here it is (it's a few pages after the quote 
Lliannanshe provided):

"'Sturgis Podmore,'" said Hermione, breathlessly.  'Arrested for 
trying to get through a door.  Lucius Malfoy got him too.  I bet he 
did it the day you saw him there, Harry.  Sturgis had Moody's 
Invisibility Cloak, right?  So what if he was standing guard by the 
door, invisible, and Malfoy heard him move, or guessed he was there, 
or just did the Imperius Curse on the off chance that a guard was 
there?  So when Sturgis next had an opportunity - probably when it 
was his turn on guard duty again - he tried to get into the 
department to steal the weapon for Voldemort...but he got caught and 
sent to Azkaban...'"  (OoP, Chapter 26)
