Well, Dumbledore was the head of the Order and by becoming members of
the Order, the Potters and Sirius had at least tacitly agreed to
follow his lead, if not his actual orders.  One of my concerns about
the whole SK business was how Sirius and (apparently) James didn't
realize how it affected everyone else as well.  By joining the Order,
they should have realized that their "private" lives weren't quite
their own anymore.
