Geoff:
Remember that Dedalus Diggle got a previous (rather disparaging) 
mention in PS from Professor McGonagall and is also revealed in OOTP 
as a member of the order; he is one of the group who come to Privet 
Drive to take Harry to Grimmauld Place. He doesn't get much more of a 
mention (so far) but there are also Elphias Doge and Hestia Jones who 
seem to be in this kind of situation.
