>>>I re-read your question and it was specific to the Order.  I don't 
know if DD let anyone in the Order know that Snape was working for 
him back in the first war.  So I don't know if he would be considered 
a member back then.  
BTW, in PoA, does Lupin even know that Snape had worked for DD in the 
old days?  Afterall, Black didn't know Snape had been a DE.
Potioncat who may have confused things even more<<<

Actually now that you mention Lupin - he was the main reason I asked 
the question about Snape in the first place. Do we know if Lupin knew 
about Snape being a DE during the first war? Or didn't he know 
anything about Snapes role till the Order got together again at the 
beginning of OOTP (with Snape as new member? with Snape as a member 
from the first time around?).
You also mention Black. I don't remember the passage in which he 
states (or someone else states) that he didn't know about Snape being 
a DE. Didn't he know? 
At the end of GOF Sirius doesn't seem all THAT surprised that 
Dumbledore asks the two of them to put old hatred aside and work 
together side by side.
Im still confused.
