Now Astrofiammante:
And it's not as if the Order is working without limitations, either.
Scalpel poised for a surgical strike? Or a band of renegades that
barely functions within society? From OotP ch5 p 89 Bloomsbury hbk:

"'But you're telling people, aren't you?' said Harry, looking round at
Mr Weasley, Sirius, Bill, Mundungus, Lupin and Tonks. 'You're letting
people know he's back?'
They all smiled humourlessly.
'Well, as everybody thinks I'm a mad mass-murderer, and the Ministry's
put a ten thousand Galleon price on my head, I can hardly stroll up
the street and start handing out leaflets, can I?' said Sirius
restlessly.  
'And I'm not a very popular dinner guest with most of the community,'
said Lupin. 'It's an occupational hazard of being a werewolf.'
'Tonks and Arthur would lose their jobs at the Ministry if they
started shooting their mouths off,' said Sirius, 'and it's very
important for us to have spies inside the ministry, because you can
bet Voldemort will have them.'"
