Following your logic, everybody who is close to Harry is, or can be a
liability. So now Sirius is dead, the next liability to the Order's
purpose, according to this theory is Ron, and after that Hermione, and
after that probably Ginny, or Molly or Arthur or the Twins or
Dubledore himself, and so on, and so on. Because if they are in danger
Harry will rush in (hopefully not as foolhardy as the first time).
Actually, if LV had been patient and waited for the holiday he could
have used an image of either Ron or Hermione to lure Harry to the MoM
just as easily. And then he would have been alone, could not have
warned anybody and things would have ended very differently.
