What opportunities? I can't remember many good ones.

No, Grimmauld Place was where it was all happening, the nerve
centre of the Order and it's operations. Why bother moving?
Besides, after DD had more or less ordered him to sit still it'd
look a bit odd if he started doing conducted tours of Magical 
London.

With Kreacher as his runner he was sitting pretty until eventually
the Order inexplicably left the Ministry unguarded and gave a
window of opportunity for Voldy's plan. 
It's possibly significant that whenever Harry contacted G.P. Lupin
seemed to be there; keeping a close eye on Sirius?

Lupin is favourite as hit-wizard, but only by default; he never 
seemed to be involved in the battle much. Waiting for a clear shot?
Still, that's what good  friends are for, isn't it?
