Wow! That is a good theory. The only problem seems to be in the
execution. They didn't (assuming this was their plan) have a very
good way to alert the Order that Voldie is at the MOM. Arthur was
attacked and they only found out because of Harry; Bode was hit with
an imperius curse, and (hmmm, I can't seem to remember who found him
or how); and then the DE's were in the ministry waiting for Harry to
show up, but the order didn't know he was there until Snape guessed
that must be where he went. Of course I think all of that can be
explained away, but I hope the Order is better prepared for their next
plan.
