I still don't see that as happening right off the bat at any rate since 
Harry won't TELL the Order about the horcruxes. At least he seems 
determined to keep their existence known only to him, Ron and Hermione 
at the end of HBP because he won't tell McGonagall for that reason. Why 
would he not tell her at least if he was going to tell the Order? Maybe 
that will happen, but right now, it looks like he is staying mum and 
going after them himself.
