Yes, and no.

A leader must to an extent be visible, certainly. That doesn't mean 
however, that his or her authority needs to be visible.

In the situation that seems to me to possibly apply in Order of the 
Phoenix, Fred and George's activities to disrupt the school (either 
as their primary purpose, or as a cover for other things) are 
certainly visible and potentially inspirational to others. Any 
authority they have to do this, does not need to be visible if the 
results are.
